I saw the car last Sunday at a classic car show in Miami. I've got a picture of it, if someone has an e-mail I'll send it so they can post it.

This is from last years Len Imnke Classic.

How many of these things were built?

This one has stripes, so it's not the same car.

An interesting paragraph on a dealers website that may or may not explain what happened here:

"Be forewarned that if you are gullible enough to purchase an <u>illegally molded copy</u> of Mark Towle's Mach 5, you are certain to experience legal entanglement with the Mach 5 franchise and experience the total loss of your investment! Our Speed Racer Mach 5 turnkey is fully drivable and one of our licensed replicas recently made a U.S. trek 3000 miles from coast to coast."

The pictures I posted are of Kit body on an '86 Vette. No reason you couldn't drive it anywhere, although parking it might cause some headaches. Ever bend a chin spoiler?
