Neat car - looks like a lot of fun. I'm assuming this one is a replica...in a perfect world I'd prefer something with 1960s race history but there aren't exactly a lot of these to choose from....

And - what is that VIN from? I googled it and it retrieved a '67 Jeepster!

That top pic looks good - nice flat hood.
Look at this other pic. CSS - can't see sh1t! And messes up the car's lines.

So, I mentioned this car to my brother who noticed a few inconsistencies in the pictures. It appears that there are 2 different cars in these pics. The big give away is the fact that the car in first picture driving under power, doesn't have A pillars and the car with the crazy scoop HAS A pillars. The doors are also different. Again, the car being driven doesn't have a frame all the way around the door window and the car with the hood scoop does. Side pipes, wheels, interior color, headlights, seats... I'd love to have a Cheetah but, nah, I don't want this one. Too many things going on.
