I saw this car driving down the road in Beaufort SC
Sounded great! Later saw it parked in the city marina parking lot.

Wow, hot! Looks like a nicely executed through the hood vent for the cooler in the front bumper, unusual bumper too.

Bob Woodman Tires is right there in Beaufort, so perhaps its one of his customers.

Car is so good looking I didn't notice the photo was sideways. That car is so low that I could never drive it on Northeast roads.

A real looker for sure.

Thanks. It was parked near the horse drawn carriages. I recently moved my boat
to the city marina so.. sometime when I'm there I'll check out Bob Woodman's shop.
Also there is a white '85 targa parked there most of the time (might be another boat owner). Scott thanks for fixing the pic.

The targa is either there w/a marina parking pass or parked on the street about 2blocks away.
I don't think that I need any track tires. But I did work for Brumos and it's predecessor in Atlanta.

At least he is driving his Porsche not letting it sit in a garage and collect dust.
