Someone Actually Built MI’s Speedball Special

Some of you might remember this article I posted a few years ago that had plans to build a Mahogany sports car.

Well, someone actually built one and it’s for sale at the St. Louis Car Museum

    Is it street legal? Was it at the time?

    Mike-
    Yes, it had a few adjustments (back-up lights, height of headlights, etc.) made for the California laws but it was and is a legal and operated vehicle.

    I sent the link to the original MM posting to the St Louis Car Museum and suggested they print it out for the lucky buyer.

    Wow, beautiful. Does it really do 90 mph? (With that tiny windscreen its liable to blow your toupee off). :)
