Not mine.  So guess when DRClock left PA for "retirement" to WV, there was a void in PA kit car building that had to be filled.  It's not a Wiley Coyote based company (to my knowledge) but it is called ACMECarPartsCO in Cumberland, PA.  The Thunder Ranch for sale is apparently their demonstrator.  I do like the clean formed interior and price is right for such a clean build $24500.  Looks like they have lots of used parts plus several Wabash (?) gas heaters.

Acme is always at Carlisle.  Usually, they bring racks and racks of VW parts.  This year they didn't.

The long tube going to the gas pedal is kind of weird.

I blew that photo up as much as I could without distorting it and it looks like two cables coming in from under the trunk.

Any thoughts people??

The two cable tubes are accelerator and clutch...actually this is a clean slate and could easily be made into a looker with minimal investment above whatever you could get it for. ACME does do nice build and engine work...a diamond in the rough. They claim to have the top and side curtains. IMHO ...redo some of the dash trim, script  and dash brow to match, nipple wheel caps  cocoa mats, redo the door top rails, badges,  Porsche and Speedster scripts, bumper deco's ,  hood handle , replace the steering wheel,  contrasting seat belts and some pedal covers about  $1,500 will cover it   .
