    This Kar is back on Ebay again with a new seller who is a dealer. It is amazing the additions to the story on this Kar from the previous seller. How about the 1/4 mile times in the 13's at 147 MPH. At 147 MPH it should have been in the low 9's. Maybe they meant 107 MPH?

  • There does appear to be a good bit of documentation. Setting aside the colorful seller narrative, it looks as if an investment was made to clone a Shelby then go to the local drag strip. Would agree with Fred that the accuracy of the time & speed is suspect.

  • I agree with Fred's comment regarding "amazing additions to the story". The previous seller made no mention of the racing history or documentation. In my opinion, the documentation pertaining to this kar is highly suspect.

  • Although the documents are always cool to have, the car will tell the real story. It would require a pretty active imagination and a lot of effort to fabricate period correct correspondence. As a result, I would give the authenticity of the documents the benefit of the doubt until they were carefully scrutinized and proven otherwise.

  • I personally viewed this car when it was in Florida at local cruise shows.The owner at that time never mentioned any racing history.The car was in poor condition and the wheel flares just killed it.
