That car is just so cool I can hardly stand it! :-)

I hope its uniqueness, rarity and incredible restoration story are highly rewarded. It's a fantastic piece of history. What a find and what an effort to revive it to such high quality.

That is one of the U.K. crushed cars.

Yes, I believe that it will be delayed. It will be live on www.mecum.com

I love that color combo...that blue looks so good in the sun. What's up with the bra on the back fascia? Never seen that before....

Yes, that IS Brett's car. We chatted about the sale a bit while waiting for the rest of the Board members to join the conference call last night.

The other prototype, IIRC, belongs to Yager (Mid Am Motorwrks) and can be seen at his museum in Effingham, IL.

They were hiding the new, different rear end. Typical prototype practice, I think, to disguise changes you don't want the public to see too soon.

Ahhhhh... makes perfect sense. They were doing that all the way back then, wow...... I guess car magazines have had prying eyes forever lol. That is really cool, the seller including that. Adds a nice touch......
