Hi Bill, and everyone else! Vern Redel himself is doing the entire car with some outside help so that somehow it is not a *totally factory new* car, (does not matter for sake of WA state registration) but he is overseeing all the work in his factory.
I looked at Superformance, they are great original looking cars for sure (and I checked out every other manufacturer also..lots of research) The IRS was a big problem, it cannot handle the extreme power output of BB (or any other really ripped ) motors nearly as well as a 9 inch Ford, and the West Coast TIG welded spaceframe, side impact protection, luxury interior, power assist steering, 4 wheel power ABS brakes sealed the deal for me. My total cost for EVERYTHING without registration and WA state excise tax, is about $72,000 Expensive, but all I have to do is pay and drive
