I probably first noticed the car being listed for sale 1.5 years ago (early 2011). Since then it has bounced around from seller to seller, mostly dealerships. Who knows, possibly it's been for sale longer than that.
I don't think the sellers know what it is. It's been vaguely and/or erroneously described. One guy described it as a Factory Five -- which it's clearly NOT -- that was built in 2006 by "66 Snake Works of Palgrave and Jesse's Toys of Oshawa," whoever they are.
I never contacted any of the sellers, so don't have much more info to share. To my eye it mostly resembles a Cobra International kit, but the hood scoop and nose remind me a bit of Shell Valley (they had a rep in Ontario a few years ago).
The asking prices have been in the $30-45K range. IMO there are probably better buys out there.
Maybe the dealer, as the vehicle owner, could contact the MTO and get some more info about how this particular kit car was originally registered. It'll still be on microfiche. The car has a repop mfr ID plate with the following VIN number on it: SWL66302070706427. Maybe that's the one the MTO uses too.
