Wow! After 25 years ownership Fred is selling his "Teardrop 8" Cheetah for US$580,000 (NZ$790,000).

This car has appeared several times in this thread, and has an interesting - and well documented - history. It started as a race car in 1963; was converted to a street car in the 1970's; was then restored back to its 1963 racing specs; then recently updated to how it raced in 1965. Until very recently it was still completing in historic racing in California.

Yeah, wow! Great car, I always loved the beautiful flares this car featured. They weren't factory, but they sure looked good.
