It's real and a very cool piece.... I believe it belongs to Torey
Kirby (spelling could be off). I've been to his place and there are a
LOT of really interesting pieces simply rotting away in poor, outdoor
storage in tall grass.
I saw the Lark at the Martinsburg meet in '06 and it was running and
driving. Really an interesting sound and it just clicked 'em off nice
and smooth. I think it would be a really cool example to have around.
Other than that, I cannot tell you much about the car.
