In reply to Woody :

Is it just the perspective, or does the chassis look twisted in the front view pics? Also that’s an interesting radiator location.

I don't see any front suspension, rubber pucks or anything else (though I may be missing it). So it may not be an f500/440.

Does look very fun however!

Lots more photos in the ad, but this gives an idea.

Yeah, doesn't look like any F440/500 car I've ever seen. The chassis looks like it was built by someone who saw a picture of a F440 once.  In a magazine. In B&W. But never actually saw one in person.

Having driven a F500 once, it's difficult enough with the suspension it has.  I don't want to imagine how unpleasant it would be with no suspension at all.  Unless the venue you can drive it on has absolutely perfect pavement.

So, uh, yeah. What’s going on in this pic?

In reply to Justjim75 :

That too, but do you see how the chassis doesn’t look square? The upper front frame tube, steering column support tube, and rear horizontal tube that holds the radiator aren’t parallel with each other.
