I have personal experience with that car. Howard was and is a personal friend. I never got to drive it, but I did get to sit in it for while. I even had a pic of it next to my 1.7. Howard used to own Rennsport werkstat in Tulsa. The car sat in his showroom for I can't remeber how long. I always enjoyed just checking it out when I was there. He told me it was rare, but I never realized just how rare.
