someone posted these on the faq awhile back. only a dual-webered m10 would see fit to power this

these two are members of the forum that are absolutely gorgeous!

When I read this thread title the other day this was the first car I thought of. I was around it a few times while the build was in progress back in the '80s. I got to bench race in it while the owner and my Dad worked on it. I recall my Dad telling me about the test drive he took in it. It ran on AV gas so they took it to the local air field to fill up. Running down the highway at a quick glance the speedo needle appeared to be at proper safe highway speeds (60-65). Another closer look revealed that they were traveling considerably faster (the speedo had been recalibrated). They were actually running right about 100mph.

 

I always loved the box flare/bumperless airdam look on this car. 4 slash cut centered exhaust tips, a roll cage, racing seat, and those deep dish BBS wheels.

As I understood it the car was sold by John(Jim?) Keasling (s/p?) to Korman autoworks (where I found the tiny color pic).  I think the story went that the son (John or Jim can't remember who was whom) built the car on credit cards. His Dad about had a heart attack when he saw the bills and made him sell it. I'd ask my Dad more about it but he passed in '13 so the stories are all I have. The black n white rear 3/4 shot was a copy I made from an original from the professional "for sale" photo shoot back in a high school photography class.

I always wondered what happened to this car. That was one bad mamma jamma!

Before reading your post and just seeing that first picture of the box flared 02. My first thought was, “Oh that’s the car Korman, sold to one of Pablo Escobar’s guys.”

I have no idea where I heard that from or if it’s true, but that’s the memory I have attached to your first picture.
