Modern interpretation of the Lister. Pretty cool. Completely modern but looks a little old. Good alternative to the Cobra for those with an extra $100k.

Wow. 6.3L LS3 or 7.0L LS7 engine options.....
If you watch the video carefully when the Lucra is being pulled out of the garage there is a speedy under a plastic drape.
Just an FYI; Lucra is the same guys from the former "Boulder Speedster" group run by Luke Richards... The Speedster and Spyder under the plastic are Becks.
They closed up shop in Colorado and reopened in SoCal. We sold them the discontinued Beck Lister tooling and they rebadged it as a Lucra LC470. Their Gen 1 cars were only slightly changed from our Beck Lister, but over the next few years they added splitters and vents and air foils and LED lights, and began to transform the car into their own...
Yes. I saw a used Lucra for sale and it looked exactly like a Lister. I guess it was a Gen 1. I actually like the look of the Lister better than the current Lucra.
100K? No thanks. Give me a well appointed Superformance Cobra or IM6 Speedster any day.

Those Superperformance Daytonas.... Damn those are nice.
If I was going to buy a cobra I'd get a slabside 289.

Me to...they were not available when I ordered my Mark III, but if I get another it will be one of these in British Racing Green....not many people know, it was the small block 289 in the roadsters and the coupes that won the World Championship ....not the 427, it was called the turd....and it was Allen Mann not Shelby that was the team manager when they won the Championship...
I think I'm in love.
Given a choice between a new Ferrari and this badboy, I wouldn't think twice. The GT40 has always been all that.
She looks pretty good for a 50 year old design....too bad people don't age as gracefully.
Stan:
There used to be a Gulf themed Ford GT running around the north side of Peoria before we moved. If I could have one car, it would be a Ford GT. That GT40 is spectacular.
There was a guy in the south Chicago suburbs that owned a superformance GT 40. I remember he also bought a white Beck from the same dealer SE used to sell cars to in Glenn Ellyn IL. The car was awesome but I am not sure how user friendly for tooling around the dog patch.
Oh, I'll bet it's a handful.
Throw in 5 (FIVE!) bad discs in my lower back, and I'm pretty sure I'd need somebody to insert and extract me from the driver's seat with an engine hoist or something.
