Default Re: Cheetah continuation race cars

I met "Cheetah Bob" many years ago in Phoenix and sold him so big block Corvette parts. Big brake parts if I remember correctly. Anyway, he had an original Cheetah that he had all cut up to make molds from and was in the planning stages of repoing the car completely.

I heard a couple of years ago that he finally got tired of sinking money into the venture and gave up on it. Then a couple of guys from Scottsdale wanted to revive the venture and got Bill Thomas involved in it from the standpoint of "endorsing it." It sounded to me like it never really got off the ground that time either. I think I remember seeing some kind of an ad for the cars and I believe that I knew at least one of the guys involved but can't for the life of me remeber the connection.
