KitCarMan posted these photos on Samba of the molds out back behind Street Beasts when they set up shop. What is the car on its side in middle photo - looks like a Karmann Ghia (also in back of 3rd photo)? See last photo - There's a complete 359 fresh out of a mold! Also a Cobra nose piece.

Pretty sure the car on it's side in the middle photo is Street Beast horribly hideous Cobra coupe kit they were marketing. See attached pic of a completed one.
There's a good reason those molds are no longer being used.
By that pic, that Cobra coupe actually looks pretty cool. I'd never heard of the project.
I was afraid to "LIKE" it. The white (OEM gel coat) doesn't do it justice. I had never seem a CMC Cobra - assume it was a Street Beast addition. I'mm sure that couldn't be finished in the CMC lauded "40 hour build."
I own a StreetBeasts 1966 Cobra Coupe kit and I'm missing the doors. If anyone knows who owns the S.B. Cobra Coupe mold or might have doors for my car please let me know.
Thanks
Know I had many phone calls back in 1990 to CMC on back ordered parts! Someone has those old molds or at more expense could flash one from their vehicle. Try this guy (no date on posting) as he may know where mold got to-
Street Beasts Molds Are For Sale:
Greetings,
I have all the molds and jigs for the StreetBeast '34 Coupe.
I worked for StreetBeasts for 10 years and when they closed their doors,
I was able to get all the best production molds for all fiberglass parts,
and all the jigs for the main frame and all bracketry. I also have the
marrying jigs for the door inner and outer skins and door metal placement.
Also for the trunk inner and outer skins. Also have the jigs for the front
grill and side panel grills, and much more. Everything is stored in a 53 Foot
Great Dane road ready trailer. A bad motorcycle accident keeps me from
going into production of these cars, so I am selling everything. The trailer is
stored in Edgewater Florida. If interested, make me an offer.
Thanks much,
Gene Cruncleton
