For whatever it is worth, I have been told from very reliable sources that this car is in fact real. The owner must be choosing to not share info at this time for whatever reason. I have been told that the motor is being reworked at this time by a rather prominent shop. Just because he hasn't replied, don't get your underwear all bunched up. He probably doesn't follow this site as closely as some. I too hope in the near future he will post some doc. and photos.
