Colin in Allard, J2, J2x, MYSTERY CAR, Mallory, Special, Track
Our friend Ralph from www.psychoontyres.blogspot.com sent us these photos the other day of this amazing Allard J2 styled track day special. The photos were taken at a Mallory Park test day this past week. Unfortunately Ralph wasn't able to speak to the owner so we don't know if the car started life as an Allard or if the owner just wanted something different. Either way, we like it and we bet Sydney would have loved it! The car features a big-block Chevy engine, tube frame chassis, and doubel A-arm front suspension. Ralph said tells us the car is fast and the engine sounds like heaven.

From Mike Knapman...
"It is based on a Kougar chassis. Fitted with a dynoed 600 hp 427 Chevy engine for Sports Racing and GT class races. Geared for 160 mph. The owner visited our (AOC) stand at Silverstone in 2010 and was so impressed by the J2 he saw on display he decided that was the style he wanted his bodywork to be. He oviously went away and made it."
