A made in USA, modern recreation of a classic car ?

el_monty · « **Reply #4 on:** March 06, 2017, 07:04:22 AM »

It is indeed made in the USA, and in recent times. It is an original "neoclassic" design, not a recreation of any particular classic model

I should have used the word "evocation" instead of "recreation" indeed, it's more appropriate.

Is it powered by an American V8 ?

el_monty · « **Reply #6 on:** March 06, 2017, 07:48:22 AM »

American V8 = Yes

GM engine ?

el_monty · « **Reply #8 on:** March 06, 2017, 08:02:03 AM »

GM engine = Yes

Chevrolet engine ?

el_monty · « **Reply #10 on:** March 06, 2017, 08:10:24 AM »

I will have to check my source later but from memory I'm 90% sure it was indeed a Chevrolet engine

oko94 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 06, 2017, 08:26:14 AM »

Was the car home built or made by a company ?

el_monty · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2017, 08:26:47 AM »

homemade

oko94 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2017, 11:51:20 AM »

Was it built after 2010 ?

el_monty · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2017, 12:05:07 PM »

Logically being a homebuilt it took a number of years, but it was finished after 2010, yes.

oko94 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 06, 2017, 04:50:20 PM »

Was it finished in 2012 ?

el_monty · « **Reply #16 on:** March 07, 2017, 06:40:34 PM »

Yes.

Was it built on West Coast ?

el_monty · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2017, 06:06:41 AM »

Not West Coast

oko94 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 08, 2017, 06:50:27 AM »

Was it built on East Coast ?

el_monty · « **Reply #20 on:** March 09, 2017, 05:24:46 AM »

It wasn't built on the East Coast either, but I will say that the location is closer to the East Coast than the West Coast
