What an absolute looker! Were it not for the bad roads down here and the ground clearance issues of an undercar exhaust system, I would seriously consider converting to the sleek, uncluttered look of the street roadster.

Please PM me immediately. For a small finder's fee, I might be able to put you in touch with a guy who knows a guy in Nigeria. It's usually a very simple process - he only needs your bank account number to get started.

This car looks great sitting on the FIA wheels. Who makes these wheels?

I know of three cars that are the 427 street configuration. There may be others that I don't know of.

The 427 street is my favorite. I think I would move the fuel filler to the trunk, leave off the jack hook holes and do a full width cut down windshield ala Pat Buckley's old car. Low, Clean and Mean...

One of them is polished and was on the same truck that delivered my Kirkham S/C.

I'll also echo Ron's remarks.

I dig 356's but they don't have hips. Besides, once people see the water pump they will know its not a Porsche.

I know it isn't for the purists but it would be a great looking car.

PS... The car on the truck was SaltyTri's after the polish job.

I think cobrajeff has some pics of this car that are actually better than the ones on ebay.
It's simply fine....

An absolutely lovely car.

But a hairsplitting question; should a car that obviously has Trigo wheels be advertised as having Halibrand wheels (as this one is) or should it not read "Halibrand-style wheels"? The difference is aluminum vs. magnesium as well as the manufacturer.
And the Fia's are possibly PS's.
