Sorry, but there was only one built
My father, Joe Lakatos, was part of the team that worked on this car at Joe Brugels shop in Taylor Michigan. He did the paint, spraying 13 coats of gold metal flake to cover the body. George Sanchel did the welding to couple the Toronado front end with the 442 rear. Paul Phelps did the mechanical for the car.
