Is this the same car as FW #435?

Absolutely not

No, but there is a Maserati connection

OSCA-based?

Can't quite make out what I'm looking at. Is it right-hand-drive with a fin behind the driver?

To confirm/clarify what has already been said:

Started life with a Maserati engine (Chevy-powered at the time of puzzle photo)
Not based on a Maserati chassis, but there is a Maserati connection (other than the original engine?)

Was the body custom made or based on something existing (e.g., Devin or other fiberglass body)

Was it built on the chassis/remains of a car that already had a Maserati engine (e.g., WRE)?

fromwien · « **Reply #45 on:** June 12, 2023, 03:57:40 PM »

Not too much known about the car's origin. For sure it was powered by a Maserati-engine

Was it raced in SCCA events?
