    I've always found this Dino interesting. And had forgotten about it in the last few years. Then yesterday, I was in a Japanese bookstore and looked inside the current Rosso magazine. And lo and behold...

    I wasn't aware it was in Japan.

    That is Barry Watkins old ride. I rode in that car when it had a Stratos 24-valve engine and comp gearbox in it. Mighty quick. Bought a bunch of 24-valve heads, cams and other special parts from him years ago. I think he swapped the 24-valve engine and gearbox to a fellow with a normal engine/gearbox plus some $$.

    I think Watkins built that car up from a wrecked Dino a long, long time ago so don't go too hard on him.

    RacerBoy9,

    In that link, there's a pic of the car hauler with 3 cars next to it. There's what seems to be a silver Dino spyder? Any chance you have details about that car?

    It kinda reminds me a body that looked about as complete that showed up on eBay several years back.
