Old Yeller. That's a good one. Ernie came up with a trick question. Technically, Old Yeller 2, the most famous of the existing series, is a "California Special" much like the Echidna, BoCar, Scarab, Farrallac, etc. although if they weren't built in So Cal they are simply Specials.
These car were built strictly for road racing but had the heart of the Hot Rod when you think about it. More emphasis on chassis development as opposed to straightline speed. Usually purposefully built frames, as opposed to original. The bodies were home built (OY 2) or Devin built in most cases and did not use the original sheet metal if an original chassis was used (Echidna).
