No thanks. A small block Chevy and turbo 400 tranny can be built to make 1000 hp for probably half that much.

Where does it say its not street legal?

Actually it mentions being a street car in the article and since its a '64 theres no emissions bullshit so just a safety inspection and with that much hp you know its got good brakes.

please explain how its not street legal. its got windows, doors, lights, wipers, surely those are ET streets, which are DOT approved. it doesnt need cats, and to run in a street class it needs mufflers.

without a hook up from someone cosseys porsche wouldnt pass inspection unless they are putting cats back on it. just saying

might not be practical for everyday driving, but surely is registerable/insurable/inspectable.

Yeah, there’s wayyyy crazier cars wearing plates at the Lake George Nationals every year. Although that car and the Porsche are somewhat apples to oranges.
