Who built this car, what was it based upon, what powers it, and what name does it carry?

Expert time!

Isn't it lovely?

What a beautiful car.

Its a 1977 MGB converted by its owner Dan Root, from Leawood KS USA into what he calls the "Rancine Roadster"

Powered by a GM 3.4 litre 60 degree V6 engine.

And WayneB is pushed over the top into Professional status, for one last correct Expert answer.

Thanks sixtee5cuda, I enjoyed doing that last batch of your puzzles as an Expert.

I guess all the future holds for me here now as an Professional Auto Puzzler is blurred black and white photos of cars built way before my time in places I have never heard of, the answers held within books I don't have any access too.

Very well done achieving Professional status WayneB.
Welcome to the barren lands of Professionaldom!

Thanks Carnut!

Yes it already seems pretty barren, I think I will now have to spend days/weeks/months/years instead of miniutes / hours to solve a puzzle.

Being a Expert was certainally fun, thanks again for posting some puzzles that the likes of me was capable of finding a solution too.
