The Luckenbach car is very similar to the puzzle car, I thought it might have been altered in time. But meanwhile I found the right one, hopefully....It is a Byers SR-100 with Corvette chassis and engine. It debuted in 1955 and now has been 're-made'. Beautiful car !

Yes, that's it, it's a 21st Century Byers SR-100 on a Corvette C5 chassis with a Corvette ZR-1 LT6 V8 engine.  Should be interesting...
I believe you wll be able to buy these remade Byers cars.
Well done.
