Anyone know if this car is still around?

Anyone know if this roadster is still around? I have only seen a couple of pictures of it but would love to see it in person.

 

Anyone know who owns this roadster?

 

Is it real?
It kind of looks like a model car kit.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

Looks real to me.

 

I buy a lot of magazines and look at a lot of event coverage online and don't remember the car. With those wheels it looks like a fairly recent build. SEMA display car or a kit car mfg display car?

 

The drag link don't look right
the seat rolls aren't even

I think it's a model, too.

 

I'm calling shenanigans. That's totally a model. A very nicely done one, but still a model.

 

I think it's real, just a really low res picture. Notice the rear tires seem to be flat on the bottom? A model wouldn't have that. Also the pleats in the seat not being uniform would actually make me think it was real more than a model. If it were a model, the seat would just be a plastic stamped piece, I don't know why it would be irregular.

 

I think it's real ... I don't recall the magazine but I think I remember seeing that car before and that it had a 392 in it.

No way it's a model with the fuel line routing, plug wires and throttle cable ... I just can't recall where I saw it.

 

I flat-spot tires on my models. I'm the moderator for the carmodelers Yahoo group, and I know tons of members that build models with these details. It's not one thing or the other that's giving it away, it's just the look of the whole package and the photo.

 

It's real to my eyes. Boring but real.

Fuel lines and throttle linkage sure look like BDS real deal.
But if it's real, it's awful clean and simple.

Dang some you need to get your eyes checked.

 

It's real.

 

I build models also.... I say that one's real..

 

It's real. Check out Pgans book Hot Rods and Cool Customs page 41. I think he also did an article in Street Rodder showing putting that Hemi in place of the original SBC. It is a Specialty Cars chassis.

It was featured in Rod & Custom in the very early nineties. It also had a cameo role in an article in the first "new" R&C in '88 or so about fitting an early hemi where a small block Chevy once resided. I can't remember the owners name, and I don't have time to dig up the article at the moment but I will tonight. It was built in Sourthern California. Boring?! You do need an eye check...
