  Yes, I know what this is. But do you guys?

  

  No, that's not the original engine.

  The guy in the second picture is the owner.

  "Thorndyke special" is what it was called in a movie, do you know what the car was actually sold as?

  It was wet out and the guy was on slicks. It's a built LS2, guy had a big 'ol bottle of nitrous, too. Didn't do all too well, even in 3rd gear any time he tapped the gas it went sideways.

  Very cool. Always thought they looked like a GT6 Humped an MG and an E-type raised the offspring.

  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

  Don't forget the front-end of a Ferrari 330 GTC that got mixed up in there too...

  Awesome!

  I have an old 'Classic Cars' (British mag) article on the Apollo. From memory, there was a convertible, too.
