550

The September issue of Car and Driver just ran an article on Kit cars and featured the Thunder Ranch 550A. I believe he price quoted in the article was $23K new. Cheap fun boys and girls.

I developed and manage their web site: thunderranch.com and the owner, Tom McBurnie was a bit disappointed when I sold my restored '67S and bought a Boxster instead of a 550. The replicas are nice cars but after early 911 and 912 ownership I wanted air conditioning and refinement. I still have vivid memories of traveling to business meetings during the summer from San Diego to LA and getting out of the air cooled cars dripping with sweat just in time to make a presentation. No Mas!
