Help! What car is this?
It's been bugging me ever since I saw it in Calabasas, California..

Here's another one from the back:

Any ideas?
It may either be a modded vette or a modded cobra, and if consensus points to the latter, do you guys have any ideas on its specifics?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this issue is destroying my psyche. |

Lucra LC470. Without going into all the details and photos, google LC470 to get the specs, photos, and all.
Here's their website: http://lc470.com/

I believe it is the LC470 which is an evolution of the Beck Lister. I use to be an owner of Dragon but left it last year. The Beck Lister was Chuck Becks interpertation of the 1958 Lister Knobbly. The LC470 has a 98 inch wheelbase, uses C4 Corvette suspension, and Chevy engines. I think that it is using LS and newer engines. The transmission is front mounted. It is very light and fast.
I have been building my own version of the Lister. I am almost done with it. I built an light but stiff space frame to which the C5 or C6 Corvette suspension cradles bolt in. I kept the stock C5 wheel base of 104.5 inches, with the Z06 wheels and tires it is 77 inches wide a the rear. I kept the 6 speed transaxle and moved the engine rearward for 54% rear weight. Any LS and newer engine can be used but I am using an LS6. My car weighs under 2000lbs.
I also have a Cobra replica that I scratch built using my own frame design and all C5 Vette parts. Had a nice drive in it today!

Thanks Larry, I am looking to spend my winters back in my old stomping grounds of Tucson. If I get out there I will look you up! I would like to drive it up the Rim. John

Here's a You Tube video of a Lister Jaguar 'Knobbly' replica.
