Very nice. If I wasnt working on building one of my own, I'd give it a look. Though I dont care for that color green. You're right, you can't build that for 15k US.
I've heard/read about Gran Sport Auto in Quebec they're like the TSP of Canada. Maybe they're Jim's long lost cousins
I am VERY familiar with THAT car. It is one of our customers cars. It is an Arizona rust free, solid, never winter driven example. Duane and I built him a Stock Appearing combo for the car quite a while ago. The engine is low compression at 9:1 with a mild cam, ported heads , ported intake, and ported exhaust manifolds. Ported by Duane and myself . Has a 3:42 Posi . It is 5500 LBS and runs an average of mid 13'S and a best of 13:30 on pump gas. I am really surprised he decided to sell the car. But it might be because we are planning to build a him 1968 WILDCAT he has to replace it . And we are going to restore the Cat and build an engine for it. Gerry ran the Centurion at LV in the F.A.S.T. and did very well with it. Someone is going to get a very good car and a lot of performance for their money !!
If I didn't just purchase my "87 Turbo T that car would be in my garage. Mid/low 13's at 5500 lbs Ridiculous.
