Hi Jennifer
If you want to go with Pipers Modified 1968 P3/4 try and find some pictures of the same car doing Land Speed attempts in South Africa I believe he averaged 189 mph but was beaten eventually by a Lola T70MKIII.
If Frank could get permission I think a impactical option would be the Chaparral 2F coupe!!!
Regards Allan
A few years ago Jim Hall was building more of his own authentic Chaparrals... I have failed to keep up on those, and don't even know if he is still alive today, let alone, if he or a subsequent assignee is still overseeing the construction of the "expensive" duplicates of his original cars. Fran's are well priced and good value...As I recall, the new Chaparrals are built as duplicates of the race originals, and carried with them all the expense that entails. As a kid, I was a great fan of the 2C...got to see Jim and Hap, along with all the 1965 era drivers, at Road America 500, Elkhart Lake Wisconsin....Failed to see the end of the race though, because of major asthma attack..I actually came close to death late that afternoon.. The combination of pollen and aggressive hiking all over the infield hills and woods took its toll on me, then only 15 years old. Fortunately they revived me and I am here to tell the tale. Of course there were plenty of Lolas, Elvas, and gosh knows what else there that day. In spite of my near death later in the day, it was and is a great experience earlier in the day. I also recall an Excalibur road car in the parking lot...my first viewing. I was a real car nut...more so than any of the boys I knew. My dad put up with me paying for subscription to Sports Car Graphic, and once in a while, taking me to races...However, this was my last that he took me too...citing the health risks. It took a few years and then I got my own car, a Lotus Europa. By then we moved to Oregon, and I drive all the way from the track at Kent, Washington, to Riverside in so-cal to see the races.
