    Weird story on the car, but it does look good and seems to have been rebuilt by the right people. Jim glickenhaus has road registered his, it shouldn't be too hard...

    Bottom line is that it's really just a recreation with a period chassis plate.. Worth more than a new build (which are available), but not nearly what it would be if it was a true period build... Also it's got a big block in it and to be period correct it really should have a small block... Also the ZF simply wasn't used, should have the Hewland... Better for a street car but also not at all period correct...

    The problem is that with the non-period engine and gearbox as well as the recreation chassis, it's not much different from a recreation and it should be priced accordingly.

    JMHO and qualified as such

    Should have just repaired the T160, and returned it to track use.

    Much more fun than put putting around on the street with 700 hp big block.
