Duke SS-100 Kit Car, FL / $1K

In reply to Stampie :

Meh. A Bradley gt to me is not substantially similar to any production vehicle. I know a handful were sold turn key, but you know how they define pornography.

I have no dog in this fight. if someone buys this and wants to challenge it, I'd say they could build a pretty good argument.

But it is.  Per Tom the turn key ones are production vehicles.  And you don't want to know about how I look at pornography.

did anyone get a response from the seller?

Whose buying it, I want to follow along with the build thread.

Ad is deleted by owner now. I wasnt interested at all when I assumed VW rear air cooled; when I saw ford powered, that could be cool!

A) it got bought

B) owner got 50 emails and realized "holy E36 M3, I underpriced this way too much" and we will see it pop back up

A and B: Yep.

C) It was bought. New Owner thought "holy E36 M3! I really got a deal, and can flip it" and we'll see it pop back up, at non Challenge price!!!!

I got emailed back from the seller (astonishingly!).

Said they had two potential buyers already coming to look at it and if they pass/fall through that I was next in line.

I'm not holding my breath.

Our Classic Roadsters Ltd. (CR) Jaguar SS100 replica, aka "The Duke", is circa mid 1980's. It is built on a late '70's or early '80's Chevy Chevette donor with the CR custom frame.

Problem is I doubt it’s production frame or body. Welll we know not the body. What’s the frame/donor for these?

I was asked by a somewhat non-car-guy neighbor to evaluate one of these kits that he bought, back in the early '80s. I looked through what he had and the instruction manual. As I recall, the frame was custom-made and part of the kit. I wouldn't consider it to be tube-frame, though it could have been rectangular tube. I believe the car was available for purchase as an assembled kit. He planned on the Pinto engine choice.
