Probably nobody here- but still great to look at. That Muroc roadster is 1 of 10 all hand built from aluminum by Marcel DeLay. I guess you need Marcel's calling card today to compete for AMBR- last year, I think all the finalists had Marcel bodies.

Even IF I had the money, and I do not ... I would not want a AMBR car. I would much rather have 5 or 6 nice ( 100 grand each ) cars than just one ( @ 500 -600 grand ) that I would be afraid to drive.

One of the AMBR cars owner lives about 20 miles from me ... Paul Trussel ... 1932 Ford ... and he never uses it. He has a 32 5W with about that much $$$ in it too ... His 5W is sitting on the other side of the roadster in the above photo.



It was the AMBR in 2002 ... and IMHO ... was the last decent looking AMBR winner ... the more recent " winners " are too wild and cut, moved and fabricated ... for me .
