I love the nose on the white car and the side exit exhaust. Probably not great for everyday use though.

I remember hearing something about that years ago, but thanks for the link to the story. An interesting read again.

Manufactures come out with "Race cars" every so often. Ford is bringing out the Mustang for racing without a vin number. I
wonder if the vette kit race car had a vin number.

They didn't have a VIN number but they were numbered. That's explained in the article. I think Danny has all the records on these cars. It's going to be pretty hard to fake one of these cars.

It's a lot easier to fake an L88 or a '57 fuelie. I think we might have 3 times the original number of L88s out there right now.

I think Danny is the keeper of all the valid information on these cars. I wouldn't buy one without checking with him first. Then I would believe what he told me.
