A bare chassis has been discovered in Missouri. Can you help identify it?
Please see the pictures below.
Is it British? Was it once a sports car? What is it?
Five lug Rostyle wheels? (Or are they...)

Left hand drive... Ever seen a rack that looked like this?

Unvented rotor / anti-roll bar.

Are these Girling calipers?

Notice that it has these sporty and relatively modern features
1) four wheel disc brakes
2) three link rear suspension
3) a very lightweight steering rack
4) coil springs and telescoping shocks all around
5) five-lug wheels
On the other hand, it seems to have an uncommonly robust frame of box tubing, and the front suspension's telescoping shock absorbers are mounted uncommonly high for a sports car.
Nice long, level Panhard rod.

Pecular emergency brake lever (with a hole for the thumb button) was apparently mounted to the left of the driveshaft tunnel.

Well it has a ford 9-inch rear........looks like mustang front suspension and the rims are Magnum 500s from a Ford. They also fit Dodge too.
My WAG. is by Gorge Barris, He's the custumizing brudda, we never heard much of, ,(George got all the press). These projects jus' seemed to dig him, further into the abyiss, too bad really, I think this chassis was copied in the , "Bricklin" ? BTW... Who Cares ? roverman do custom-icing.
