There is one of those sitting in the shop....I bought it from Napiersport in the UK....I bought a 164 Alfa as a donor and it has sat collecting dust for a couple of years...

I am looking at different powerplants as the Alfa may be Italian but its a big heavy beastie with almost zero tuning parts in the USA...at reasonable cost....and if I run across a Dino engine it will go in my '58 F1 car not the Stratos

I have been thinking of a modern 4 or V6 from a domestic.....I know herecy but I want to build it to drive....not just look at.

I offered it for sale last year due top lack of time and it was under the cost of a new kit form the UK...no serious takers...
so as cool as it is , I am keeping it to build on a rainy day...

but it also shows how fickle the market is....cool car, huge following ..no buyers...bad business model....
