Description

Handcrafted during the mid-1990s by ingenious builder Ron Lawless, a 1953 Maserati A6GCS Tribute in Silver Green. The expertly fabricated fiberglass body, sourced from Maserati parts supplier MIE, sits atop a custom square-tube chassis. Every detail was meticulously considered - from the egg-crate style grille to the streamlined headrest bump and Lexan windshield. The 16-inch wire wheels, assembled from Austin-Healey and Jaguar parts, wear 5.00/5.50x16 front and 6.00/6.50x16 rear tires. Dual side pipes exit along the driver's side, adding visual muscle to the classic racing profile.

Inside the spartan cabin, Dark Green vinyl wraps the bucket seats sourced from an Austin Healey. A gated shifter with custom reverse lock-out mechanism offers precise gear selection through the four forward gears. The painted dash houses custom Classic Instruments gauges bearing the "Damilla" nameplate - a nod to the builder's wife for whom this car was named. An Aston DB2 steering wheel falls naturally to hand while lap belts secure occupants during spirited drives. The minimalist design stays true to 1950s racing car aesthetics.

A 2.4L inline-six from a 1973 Datsun 240Z powers this lightweight roadster. Three two-barrel Weber carburetors feed the motor while a shorty-style exhaust manifold handles spent gases. The foundation consists of Mustang II front suspension with manual rack and pinion steering. Leaf springs and shocks support the rear, working with a narrowed Ford 8-inch rear end. Drum brakes from a '65 Comet provide stopping power, maintaining period-correct mechanical character.
