Not a Butler. Suspension is different and frame is different.

I still think it still looks like L.A Exotics. The front suspension is a tubular upgrade but it is set up for MustangII geometry.That and the frame looks like L.A Exotics but some pics of the rear suspension would help. Straight axle??

JWD is right - Not a Hurricane,
Hurricane frame looks like this:

This is a Lake City car, early Lee's Summit cars are only slightly different.

In 1994, my wife and I flew to Carlisle, PA to look at replica cars at their big Kit and Foreign show. The wooden bleachers were still there; they burned up a foible of weeks later.

I kept going back the Integrity replica. It had a frame built to order with options of Corvette, Jaguar, straight axle 9" rear suspension and several options for the front, too.
Their bodies were good. 90" wheelbase and dual bullet or single tail lights.

I don't know what happened to builder but he was talking about selling Shamrock replicas in the future.

Thanks,

Russell

I remember Component Craft, Integrity and Specialty that are not listed as manufacturers.
Badgerland of Appleton, Wisconsin made bodies for the Fargo long wheelbase cars when they went out of business the first time.
