The Cheetah returns, Cobra has some competition!
The 1964 Cheetah was designed by Don Edmunds, and marketed by Bill Thomas to be a direct competitor in the lightweight muscle car segment. Unfortunately it was not to be, as a fire at the factory that was assembling the cars ended production after only 23 cars were built.
But now the Cheetah will live on, thanks to an Arizona company called Cheetah Continuation Turnkey Collectibles. Prices start at $88,500, which includes a space frame chassis with fully independent suspension, a 350 cubic-inch Chevy V8 with dual quads mated up to a Muncie M-20 four-speed transmission and a hand-laid fiberglass body built to the same specifications as the original car.
