I wonder if our esteemed Oregonian associate is aware of this gem?
Howaboutit, Angela?

I haven't seen this car - but WOW what a fun little rocket!!!
So Cory - why don't you just take a few days of vacation in June, fly out here and we'll take you to Parts Obsolete Campout. You can fly here to Medford and we'll drive you up or fly to Portland and we'll pick you up at the airport. Then you can see outlaws-in-the-wild!

The car is in California and it says it was built from parts from Gary when he was in Costa Mesa. I haven't ever seen it in McMinnville. His (Gary's) cars these days are quite a bit more sophisticated, but just as cool.
My street address is "On the Hook" at the moment, but I have something like 300 hours of vacation time. Maybe I ought to see about a weekender, huh?
I dunno. Sumthin' tells me that what we are lookin' at did not start out as a '54 Speedster. That body looks a bit too much like a replica to me. It's got a B or C hood handle/spear/whatever, as well as twin grills on the engine cover, and the dash just looks too much like a CMC or something similar. Engine/transmission/etc. could be really nice, but I'm just not sure he's being entirely straightforward.
Hijack -- Lane, check messages.
Back to Mark's post; The description of the car says there's been lots of engineering over time. I wonder if Gary and Company maybe did some of the early chassis work?

Cory, you get to PDX and I'll see that you get to Emory's. Angela can get you to Medford from there in a hurry.
i gotta be doubtful too. 911 chassis and fiberglass body parts. Sounds like a hoax to me. Someone with too much time on their hands.
Thanks, Scott. 30 percent chance as it stands -- I'm going to fill and paint the Hoopty first, and then we'll see what's left in the travel budget.
Emory builds their outlaws out of steel. I am 99% sure this red car is steel from the pictures. They blend various years together and hand-fab the rest - out of steel. The pics enclosed here are my favorite outlaw, the one with the 911 four cylinder. This car actually started as a coupe. The rear sheetmetal is a 356 FRONT. The brake ducts etc., are all hand-fabbed steel.
In the hands of a good fabricator, there is almost no limit to what can be done with metal. But step up $$$.
