Beck no longer makes Lister-Corvettes.

There is ONE manufacturer in Brazil or Mexico or something. I'd have to google it all over again.

I read a SPF Cobra and Beck-Lister comparison in Road&Track (or was is Car&Driver?). The Beck-Lister won hands down in acceleration and handling.

I still think the Lister-Corvette is one of the coolest looking track-monsters around. My introduction to the Lister-Corvette came at the Monterey Historic Auto Races. I heard this GNARLY engine fire up, and I bee-lined to go see what was making all the noise. A black Lister-Corvette was rolling out for the event. The pavement was vibrating underneath my feet. Sensational.

I'll have to stick with my Cobra, for now. But if I add something to the stable, the first on my list is a Lister-Corvette (replica).

Yeah, I'd paint that one bad-ass black, too.
