Hi, Bob -
Haven't seen that one. It does look good, but with the cockpit heat reputation of a regular GT6, I'd bet that one would be pretty toasty!

Yes, I well remember it. Almost bought it myself some years ago, and kick myself for not doing it.
Very nicely built car, superbly documented.

That's all I found. If i get a chance I'll look for more info.
The text says the engine is 110 pounds lighter than the 2000 six. I know the diff is heavier than a triumph unit. But that weight will be toward the rear. Should be an interesting car to drive. If you don't roast your shoes.

Yup, I actually tried to purchase that GT8 from the former owner, a guy in WA named "Doc", can't remember his last name.
I called and discussed it on the phone with him. He wanted to sell it locally, he said, so I dropped it.
Seems he sold it to someone in "Denver", not exactly local. Oh well . . .
Allegedly a well-done conversion. Lots of fun to drive, no doubt.
