Hi, I just found your site and I see you have been asking about my old race car that Elvis used as a stunt car in the movie Spinout. It had an Austin Healey frame and a 327 Chev motor in it. The Body was a one off. It was going to be a production kit body called the Banshee. I bought it three days after Elvis passed away. I still have the ad that was in the LA Times. It was in very bad shape. It had been in a barn since the filming. No Motor or transmission. I bought it over the phone and then headed to California to pick it up.
Restored it with help from friends and put it on a small show tour in and around Minnesota and Canada. Then I raced it at BRI and Road America for a few years.
