I know you all are dying to know, so here are the members and the vehicles that participated....

Watch this space for links to the FIAT Culb pages. There will be some more visual treats, including an early 60's Cunningham - a Chrysler Powered cobra-type car with 8x Webers. This car is one of 7 in existence!

Could it be the CR2 with the 331 Firedome Hemi? Hope there is some photos of the dash along with under the hood!

Actually, the car we saw was the C-4R (Continuation Car #1 - 3rd of the series). I believe there were only 7 of the cars ever produced.

This car was actually driven by the following drivers during the development phase (in 1994 - 1997):

Phil Walters
John Fitch
Denise McCluggage

It waqs a real head-turner. We were busy wine-tasting, and the car pulled up, and it pretty much emptied out the winery! Everyone wanted to see it.

Here's a link to the web page to the ORIGINAL Cunningham cars:

Here's a link to the web page to the Cunningham continuation cars, with pictures of the ACTUAL car we saw in Sonoita (scroll down through the picture section):

More ACTUAL pix to follow.

It does have the 331 Chrysler engine in it.

Here's the link to the FIAT Photo Gallery. Check it out. You will see the guy driving the Cunningham yelling at me when I told him Panteras were faster than Cunnninghams.

I tried to insert the images directly, but the Google Photo engine is too smart for me.

Sorry!
