There's one running around in my area built on a C2 or C3 chassis. Love those headers.

Awesome. I would sure take it for a spin. I live not too far from this guy too; maybe 50 miles. I'll send him an offer of $20 and see what that gets me...

It says, "The custom wheels are by P & G Engineering" Anybody know anything about that company? The wheels look like old style Torq Thrust "D"s.

That is the essence of a true sports/racing car, where even having a driver is a compromise!

I think the ebay ad has the wheel manufacturer wrong - they look to be TA-I wheels from PS Engineering.

High quality wheels, made in USA. Not the cheapest, but worth the $$ based on the ones I have seen.

1965 CHEETAH

The original Bill Thomas garage that burned is now a residential HVAC company. I bought my new A/C from there, and went inside.:twitch:

We had a Cheetah running at Willow Springs raceway back in about 1995 or so. Not as radical as this one.
Anyway the ol' bugger driving it came in about halfway thru the twenty minute race just dying from the heat. The tech/black flag guys threw the doors open and started fanning him and pooring water over him. In a short time he said OK and went back out to win the race!

One of my first days at Tech and part of a steep learning curve
