Heyup soovy, don't often see you round these parts.

That car was Sammy's first rocket Funny. The guy is something of a legend. Do a YouTube search on 'Vanishing Point' and you will see just what a hero he was. He had some insane ideas about racing cars, and fortunatly he shared them with us.

Bobby Feeler and Vincent Perrot still have the T/A. I imagine the Mustang III is still where it was seven years ago, and the Mustang 2 could be in your garage in a coupla months! Fill a nice Corrado shaped void?

That is why JonC wrote "Bobby Feeler and Vincent Perrot still have the T/A."

T/A = Trans Am
