Pete - that looks like an old T-3 replica.
Tube chassis and OK mechanicals, but the
body is atrocious.

Jukka - The Valkyrie has been discussed
many times on this board. It was originally
VW based, but I believe later versions
improved the frame, allowed for V8 power
(Chevy or Ford), and used the Corvair
transaxle. They look less like a 40
than the T-3 does.

Here's a link to one of th threads:

I would avoid it at all costs if you want a
high quality replica. The Valkyries were
built when the kit car industry was very
young. And, I would never race one.
