Barrett Jackson's description of the Guanci SJJ1:
Quote:
"custom built by Mc Kee Engineering. GM 350 V-8 with an Oldsmobile Tornado transaxle"
DeTomaso did not design coaches, they contracted that work out to established designers. DeTomaso did not build coaches, that work was contracted to carrozerias. DeTomaso didn't build engines or transmissions, they used drivetrain built by others. DeTomaso assembled cars. If according to BJ this car was assembled by McKee Engineering, I perceive nothing that makes this car even remotely assoiciated with DeTomaso, unless DeTomaso contracted & paid for the project. Judging from the styling and the drivetrain, I would have guessed this car was a GM project, not Italian.
