[quote=Jac Mac;1014501][quote=Buzz;1014489]As far as replicas go, there was the interesting Johnex 427 Coupe; supposedly based upon drawings of a never-released big block coupe variation. There was some controversy about it being misrepresented as a Super Coupe replica while actually being based more on the Willment design.

At first I thought it might be a replica of 2286 in its original 3" stretch version,,, but in the 'Shelbys Wildlife' book there is mention of a partially completed second FE engined car that was still in the UK & might have had links with Alan Mann etc... could this be the car that inspired this Johnex car?
I seem to remember seeing a picture of an unfinished coupe here that was in Larry Miller's collection or maybe at the Shelby American Collection.
