They will be here in the future also, as long as there is a demand. It's a fine design, captures the spirit of the era, and just looks Bad to the Bone. Enjoy years of replicas to come, being more refined every year.
Thanks for the info for those who didn't know of this lineage, I've been documenting every tidbit I come across in this arena since CS built the first one.

Sony B,
It would be interesting to many of CC members that you tell us more what you know about Brooks cars!
My understandings from the advertisement is if Brooks indeed had built only few cars in 66 ,after being affiliated with Shelby, made a lot of sense that he would have used frames and bodies from AC.....Only this would make this car very desirable and still very cheap at 35K! Don't mind the wrong side pipes and gauges....
In anycase a 427 (or 289) fibreglass body built back in 1966 if that is true makes it by far the oldest one as all I've heard of is more early 70s.
So anyone can say what mr. Brooks frames/suspensions looked like? What is bodies were made of?
