    Cheetah Project

Cheetah

In the mid to early 1960s, the folks at GM Racing Division designed a Cobra killer in order to compete with Ford’s success at the track. Through the vision of Bill Thomas and Don Edmonds, emerged the 1964 Cheetah and this was one scary cat!

Ultimately, Thomas’s plans did not last, and after the production of approximately twenty-seven cars, his shop burned and so did GM’s continuation of the project. With that said, now these “cats” are truly an endangered species.
