Strrike 3...your out   :P ......it is a cobra.................Cardiac cobra to be exact..........they we built by some guy called John in North Van. I was the lucky Guy that got to do the bodywork on them after they  took all  the pieces  out of the moulds and glassed them together...( at the shop owned by the guy I worked for and bought the buggy from)...............I called them bondo bunnies be cause there was nothing you could do the body to get them staight besides filling them.....( you can move steel ).....just grinde the whole car down and fill them with about 5 gallons of filler......mind you 2 of them wound of as dust on the floor.They were a beauty when done.  I think that one had a jag rear end ( so I guees that was a tic ball ) If I can find a pic of that one painted I will post it for you as I recall It was a real sweet paint job........ :rockon: .

I had thought cobra but the wheel bubbles look to skinny, the hood scoop should have given it away though.
