Looks like 914 seats in the background

The pictures shown make that look NICE.

The windshield and door windows appear to be 914.  I wonder if it's a 914 cockpit area?  

Looks like a super cheap way to a 904 looking kit

Yes buy this, then hold on to it until my garage has space, then "give up" on it and I'll buy it from you..

Research says this is an Eagle GT

I took a risk putting my phone number out publicly to make contact with the seller but, it was worth it. He is a former racecar fabricator who has owned this car for 15yrs and built the tubular chassis himself.

I am not celebrating purchase victory yet, but the wheels are in motion and I will be sorely disappointed if things fall thru.

Though squinting hard at that "honda prelude engine" it does appear to be a single cam. So not the h22 or any of it's friends. Though if it's any in the modern prelude family (f/h/etc) the mounts are all the same roughly (from rusty memory).

There was a white one of these that used to cruise around my childhood neighborhood. That one was definitely VW powered.
