Haha sounds like my Lotus (except the killing Cobras part). I'd love one!!!

Thank you and I would LOVE a Lotus............since I cant have a Cheetah

Isn't there an aftermarket company making Cheetah replicas ? I thought I read online somewhere that a very accurate replica was being built. I always loved the look of them.

I posted this over on the Corvair forum where a bunch of vintage racer guys hang out. There are apparently quite a few of these Cheetah's running on the vintage racing circuit. Sounds like most of the drivers have put a lot of effort into modifying the suspension to make it easier to handle around the track. Here's one looking really bad-a** in Gulf Blue that one of the guys recently raced against:

I'm feeling ambiguous about it.

The "Aftermarket" company making new Cheetahas is NOT an Aftermarket company at all and the cars are not Replicas its a continuation of the production run. Its Bill Thomas himself. the original designer and builder of the car. You can buy a turn key car built on original blueprints or a modern updated version using mostly new Vette parts from what I understand.

Thanks for all the pictures. Those cars look so 60s, it is awesome.

Any link to a "new" one of these? What does it cost? I'd like to see how it feels to drive a mid-engine car from the wrong end. Must feel really funny!
