Thanks fellas!!! Mike...LOL...GM was going to sponsor these cars and actually supply the mechanicle components for em. Engines/transmissions and brakes were corvette parts as was the rear suspension. After GM got done with their own testing with chassis # 1...They pulled the plug and said no way. Car was deemed,too unpredictable at speed and lacked stability. You see...Bill Thomas was going to make a street version for the average person to buy. They were going to be sold in GM dealerships across the U.S. Not after they did their testing though. And, it was 1963. GM was pulling the plug on all its sponsored motorsports programs. Bill Thomas Motor sports completed 14 chassis and (According to rumor, no ones really sure) 11 complete cars before the factory burned to the ground in 1965? I think. (Cant remember, built this like 6 or 7 yrs ago)...That was the end of the Cheetah.
