    What do you do with a twice burned 40 year old semi super car in part / rusted?
    If you can find parts OUCH on the price and you get 40 year old performance.
    Car was burned and rusted to the point the fire wall was toast.
    So why not bring the car to modern car build standards and new power plant?
    No LS crate motor hot rod, a one off tube chassis built as if VAG / Audi / Lamborghini / Bertone were building a concept of the small V8 bull today.
    Transverse mounted motor was really not needed as the original 2+2 config of the car made the car cramped for the "rear seats". Besides the firewall was shot so we decided to mount the motor in the lateral config.

    First builder turned out to be a hack scam artist wasted way too much money and time on the build. Pulled it in 2013. 99% of the work of the first builder was unsafe, poorly designed and had to be cut out. He designed a rear end as if ti was a Porsche 928 want to be mashed with a want to be Miura / Aventador front end UGLY UGLY UGLY.

    2013 / 2015 undergoing re-re-design at Ted's Rod Shop, Riverside Ca.
    Original Pop Up Headlight back in, Bubble butt never to be seen again.
    Original taillights now modern.

    Dash by Zada-Tech HD Color LCD 12" display

    Over 90% of the car is now custom hand fabricated.
