it may not be the prettiest car in the world but I am looking at its performance..these cars ran 215 mph with a 500 Hp small block !!!
I might pull the trigger on the tube chassis and body and build it myself
In the 60s, it was Chevrolet's idea - and Bill Thomas' dream - to create a car that would challenge the Cobra. The result? The awe-inspiring Cheetah, born of vision and guts and a commitment to build a car that would shatter track records along with the Cobra's dominance. With storied race-car builders Don Edmunds and Don Borth, Bill Thomas built a car that in turn built a new story of speed. 185 mph at RoadAmerica. 215 mph at Daytona.
