Isn't that one of the cars Bill Warner has?  He raced it in the 'Watkins
Glen' Kastner Cup race.  They were in the garage adjacent to ours and Lanky
Foushee (RIP) was wrenching for him.  That car was still fast.  Shortly
there
after there was an extensive article about the car in one of the motorsports

publications, dealing specifically with exactly how and why the car went so
fast.

It was not, as they say, your Dad's TR8.
