Great looking car. What front fascia is that? And how did it end up in Norway? Did you sell through eBay?

Sure, I remember.....I've had my hot little hands on it.
Back to an original 4 pooper? He'd be unique.

The fella that originally built it (before the flood)...or had it done....spent years modifying it.

BTW, an incredibly boring video.

If I recall correctly, that is called a Group 5 IMSA front end. I placed an ad here and the guy responded. He buys and sells cars often as I recall and he bought a Ferrari at the same time from my neighborhood. He arranged for truck to New Jersey and ship to Norway... Last I heard, he called me very early one morning to say he was having trouble getting the door unlocked after it arrived in Norway. I had never locked the door!!!

So I wasn't much help...

JP, I think the video was more about testing the GoPro camera then showcasing the Bumblebee...
