Heavy on the word "project".

I have lusted after a lot of different cars over the years. The Cheetah (if that is even what this is) has never been one of them. The proportions are just too odd.

But, I know the Cheetah cars have a bit of a cult following. Here is your chance. Pretty cheap. Interesting that its stable mate is a Cougar. Get a Jaguar and you would have the trifecta.

Definitely not a Cheetah.

They had a Cheetah manufacturer at MCCAN this year with some excellent examples of their work. One example was completed and one was a body and chassis roller.

I believe the car in the link is a Kelleson or something like that. Much like a Devin in that is was sold as a "body only". I'm shooting from the hip on the name.

For sure not a Bill Thomas Cheetah. It's ugly, whatever it is.

I was always, and still fascinated by this car !

That car for sale looks like something my 11 year old drew after my 9 year old saw a real one go past on the highway and then tried to describe it to him two weeks later...
