Thanks, Rich for finding this....

I'm reading about this car, and I keep seeing "POR-15", or whatever...and lots of sheet metal replaced....it makes one wonder just what this car was like before all the metal work.

This isn't a Little Red replica car. It's just a coupe with Shelby parts on it. I can see it being a labor of love, certainly...and it's been someone's project car for a long, long time...

It would make a nice car for shows, etc...and to experiment with some exotic engine.

Worth a look. I wish the best outcome for the owner.

The POR-15 mentioned is an excellent rust treatment & preventative paint (available from Eastwood, where I got mine). It's a little pricey, but WELL worth it.
From the VIN, it's a 6cyl conversion 'T' code. Looks like he put a LOT of work & $$$ into it. I too hope he does well with his auction, but past experience has shown me that when you do such an extreme mod (the Shelby & C/S components aren't cheap) you seldom recoup the investment. The cowl repair he mentioned is no small feat in itself.

Thats one pretty red car...(and thats all Ill say). :icon_no:
Okay could use a LeMans striping or sumthin!

what it is or isn't

Ya know, to me this car is cool until the seller decides to call it a little red tribute. Just like a really nice white 65 fastback with blue stripes and a 289 isn't a Shelby GT350 replica, this car isn't a Little Red tribute. I do hope he sold it though - I always like to see the sales be successful. In the end it should be a neat ride for the right buyer.

Lil Red had a '67 nose. This car is a Red Hornet.

thought so

Thanks Mo. I thought Little red had the '67 nose - at least at first - but then I started doubting myself.
