    Hello,
    Having dismantled an '80 QP III, I became intimate with it's construction. It a unibody car, with a front stub frame. The body is a unit with the floor, and reinforcements not unlike any other uni-body. So there really is no separate chassis.

    Will,

    Look at it as an XJ Jag in construction.
    The QP3 shares its' underpinnings with the De Tomaso Deauville.

    Thanks Guys.
    That will explain why they're not used for 450S fakes....
