nbrune,
I have spent the last 5 months building a Lone Star at their shop. Just finished up (almost) in the last few weeks. The car is well designed, parts were fabricated properly, and I had a good time putting it together. I'm no expert, but I am a Mechanical Engineer by trade.
I have seen the red car you are referring to, but I don't know when was it originally built. The Lone Star has changed continually over time.
As far as where the motors come from, all I know is I got a short block from Lone Star which came from S&S engines in Spokane. Its a 1971 (pre-emission) that has been balanced and blueprinted. The rest of the motor I gathered from a variety of sources, and a few hipo parts I bought from Lone Star. I took all the parts to a machine shop and stayed and watched while they put it all together. I guess you could say I built it myself.
All of my experiences with Lone Star and its employees have been very positive, and I do recommend them.
