Default Anyone know this 356

I have been looking for a 356 for some time now when I came across this 356 on the eBay site. I am not opposed to the 'right' reproduction.

it isn't a 356, but it appears strong for a kit car.

Yes, email him. He's a very cool guy.
I know this car - have ridden in it. It is amazingly fast and it's "appointed" like no other Speedster you will ever see.
It got a lot of attention at last April's "North Meets South" 356 get-together in San Luis Obispo, CA.
"Unique" is not a strong enough word to describe it.
