Fiberfab Centurion, 1965. A kit-car replica of the Chevrolet XP-87 prototype is to be offered at auction in France at the end of the month. The fibreglass Centurion was created by Warren “Bud” Goodwin, the founder of Fiberfab and could be built onto a C1 Corvette chassis. However before series production of the fibreglass bodywork had begun Goodwin was jailed for the voluntary manslaughter of his wife whom he had caught in bed with one his mechanics. Whilst in jail Goodwin himself died of a heart attack. It is thought than less than 12 Centurion bodies were made and this is one of them. The car has been fully restored and is based on a 1958 Corvette, equipped with the 283hp 4.6-litre V8 engine with Rochester injection and a manual gearbox.

Unpopular opinion, i think new car makers should have to follow fewer safety laws. Like if i wanna buy a buncha kit cars and make a buncha electric fiberglass convertibles that look like old cars from the 60s, i should be allowed to
I mean i should have to disclose that, but if i win the $700 million power ball tonight i think i should be allowed to make and sell a bunch of old porche speeder copies full of lithium golf kart batteries and an ac motor out of a forklift
Its my right as an American
(i mean they would be genuinely unsafe and likely pretty unreliable, but god they'd look nice)
That being said you should only get a grace period of like 5 years to be compliant with all traffic safety laws.
