Identify the yellow car

My friend was looking for mustangs and he saw this add on Ebay. He wants to know what the yellow car in the garage is.

Any ideas? Looks like a single seat race car (kit maybe).

Kit car?

I'm betting that's a kit car of some sort.

It looks a bit like the old Fiberfab kits that mounted to a VW.

It's a kit car in my opinion. It would appear to be like a Murcielago or 2000-ish Diablo but it's not concave like that.

Perhaps a Mosler?

I'd guess some sort of kit car. Why not email the guy and ask?

Hmm, one comment on the 1967 Mustang...

It seems to be a nice car, but I have to wonder how did it ended up with 1966 style wheel covers?

I agree with others about the yellow car. I think it is a kit car.

I haven't heard that word in a long time.

I had a friend in the 3rd grade whose father had a Kelmark. His father would take us for rides in it.

That car in the garage is definitely not a Kelmark.

A Kelmark is a pretty close copy of a late sixties / early seventies Ferrari Dino

Kellmark was built in my home town, the owner had a sped up fast as hell model.
