Cheetah continuation race cars

[raw muscle cars]

I was interested if anyone knows about the CHEETAH continuation race cars being built. I saw one last year and they look and sound great, they are also supposed to be approved and authenticated by BILL THOMAS. They are selling for $150,000.00 Any thoughts?

Ever sit in one ? The one I had here a few years ago basically sat you between the headers and trans. Was known as a oven.

Has anyone seen the new Continuation Cheetah Roadster? They had a couple on display at Bloomington Gold.

------A Corvette restoration guy named Bob Auxier, originally from north Illinois now from Phoenix, did a ton of development work (molds and jigs for frame etc.) on the new Cheetahs with Bill T's blessing. Where Im a bit fuzzy is where the guys who were at Bloomington and at Russo/Steele in Scottsdale fit into the puzzle. What would have been smart (why do things the easy way???) would have been if I had just asked them, but I never got around to it. I dont think Bob was selling anywhere near enough of them to make a living so he may have sold the project off or the merchandising of them off. But it seemed as if these new guys were saying they were constructing theirs themselves when I read the flyer.....Still confused as usual!!!.....Bill S

Bob Auxier/Phoenix is the manufacturer. Ron Keck/Bloomington Gold display is one of the distributors/dealers,licensed by Bob.

I want one... but I'm still confused about the diference between the "Continuation" and "Continuation Collectable".

As stated: "The Cheetah Continuation Collectable is not street legal or intended for vintage racing. For information on the racing version of the Bill Thomas Cheetah, visit: www.cheetahracecars.net"

He needs bigger videos on the web site.

------Thanks Steve,,,Such a limited market, but maybe they dont need to sell many??? I see a bunch of typical "disclaimer" stuff, that I guess is just the lawyers talking , but just where do you use your new Cheetah purchase if its not street legal and you cant use it on the track either??? Wonder how they are titled???..........Bill S

You sit there and look at it in your garage?

I guess your just supposed to stare at the "continuation collectable Cheetah" and race the "continuation Cheetah".
