This
replica Roadster body was first prototyped by Lee Stonebraker Design then
produced by Executive Coach for Gordon Cooper's one of a kind Lamborghini Diablo Roadster project.
Gordon's
540 cubic inch Kieth Black all aluminum Big Block Chevy was built to
specification by GT performance in Upland, California. It was recently dyno-tuned
there at 613 horse power @ 5400rpm with 785ft lbs torque @ 3900rpm. Wow! The
compete engine (running) weighed in at 610 pounds.
Gordon's
chassis was designed and constructed at LSD in Ontario, California. It contains
over 240 feet of Chrome moly tubing and is estimated to weigh only 380 pounds.
Next, the body will be final fitted and the motor installed. Stay
tuned.....
