Tuscan V8 Widebody
Discussion
I posted this copy of an original press photo of the Tuscan wide body on the facebook page and it got quite a lot of interest. It appeared in the November issue of Vintage Roadcar magazine, they hope to do a feature on these rare beasts in the future. It got such a response that I thought it deserved it's own thread, so let's see how many photos of these cars we can come up with, and how much information there is.

Richard Danville sent me one that's been reproduced, in B&W, of the Noskowitz car, from up high. I will have to convert it, from PDF, when I get a chance.
There's also a gent, who's been helping to work on a yellow one, and a white one, somewhere in the Northeastern US, who sent me some pictures, but I'll be damned, I can't find 'em.
Best regards,
Bernard.
PS I have no idea what's wrong with my hot linking skills, but the images inserted, in that way, are not previewing, for me.

I am slow to the party.. I know.. 
But I do find it interesting that When the ex-Sagerman demostrator is pictured folks rarely note that it had a BOSS 302 installed which had significantly more power than the standard 302! (Not a slight on you Oliver... I see it happen a lot)
Also, I know it would be of interest, but somewhere along the line I acquired a longish video of one of the Wide Bodies for sale in probably the Late 70's early 80's where the owner walks around the car, filming all its aspects, then takes it on a test drive. Probably 10 mins long or more. (It is interesting that its so old you can hear the tapes scrolling thru the recorder while he was filming) I need to get it put to disc or the like and on YouTube or the like.

Oh yes, I did find at one time one of the WideBodies was "Autocrossed"at the SCCA Solo2 Nationals I believe in the early 80's. (Auto cross in the USA would be like an Auto test in the UK?, Random pylon lined courses that you race against the clock and hitting a pylon adds a time penalty.
Thanks for that Bill, I must admit that over 18 years after I took the photos of the ex Sagerman car at Woodwork it is hard to remember the full spec! Plus as a Limey I don't know the full details of all the Yankee V8s, so would rather leave an ambiguous detail in rather than get something wrong. It was a lovely car (presumably still is), but it is a shame that Al trailered it there and we never got the chance to see it in full tarmac ripping mode...
