A rare photograph of the perpetrator looming behind his victim.

Frumpy lines around the headlights and the door glass scream replica GT40 to me.

just like the shelby cobra, even the original GT-40s were kit cars.

Here's a link to my friends replica GTD-40. He got divorced and had to sell..... so sad. The current owner finished it.

Looks like a Fiero based GT40 like car, but the side windows are all wrong.

I'm unable to tell if it's RHD or LHD from what I can see... the reflection on the windshield prevents it... not sure if that's the driver's seat in the left window... can anyone else make it out? See a steering wheel?
Looking at the mirrors, their placement is not something I would expect a kit builder to choose... that makes me think it might be an original. The right mirror looks a little bit further forward than the left one. Without being able to see if it's LHD or RHD, a case could be made either way with the mirror placement, but it looks like it would be a little harder to use the left mirror if it's LHD due to the A-pillar interference. EDIT: I changed my mind about the right mirror being further forward... judging by looking at the base of each mirror, they seem to be equidistant from the gas caps. Quote:
It looks like this when it's on:
