Pulling up the article - nicely done - the near Cheetah looks like the twin intake FI model., although I believe it was unpainted when I saw it race at RRI.  Could be that at my age I am undressing anything I recall from the 60's.  heh heh

Funny, for all of DOUG's period vintage racing stories, I have matching modern ones from Monterey/Montreal/Goodwood/Daytona/Watkins Glen/Lime Rock/etc...

The driver's are all mixed up...ie. Derek Bell driving a Cobra Daytona Coupe.

Hmmmm - Scarab knok offs.  If they are doing the real thing - they will put about 700 hours in the aluminum gas tank alone.  That thing fit in-between all the frame rails and triangulations.  Almost, but not quite, a shame to put a body on it - - - that is until you see the body - then Wowsers.

 

The Cheetah?  Um, watched them race at RRI.  Um, uh, not bad not bad - had a big Chevy using  Rochester FI with two intakes - one in front of the other mounted on top of the FI manifold box.  Looked like two four bbl's mounted up there.  Poor old cars didn't seem to handle that well - coulda been the lot boy taking it about to break in the engine - ??

Onward
