Really Rare Mosler

[ndubz]

So, this guy obviously wont be on TST, but I thought it was cool enough to post. So Im in Hawaii right now, and today we took a bus tour on Oahu. So we're on the bus driving and im looking out the window (taking in the scenery and looking for cars at the same time. At this point I naturally car spot everywhere I go) and as we pass this gas station I notice this ridiculous looking car sitting at the pump. Obviously a supercar of some sort, but as I saw the details I realized I hadn't seen one before in person. I remembered seeing it in pictures online somewhere. It was blue/green, had kinda ugly slit headlights, and the word "Raptor" on the side. I didnt know what it was at the time, so i started looking on Fast-autos.net on my iPhone cuz I knew I had seen pictures of it somewhere on there. I found out it was a Mosler Raptor from the late 90's.

Many of u may know Mosler for their current car the MT900. The raptor Preceded the MT900. Powered by a Lingenfelter modified LS1, the Raptor and its predecessors won many races in north america. I know mosler only made 100 of the type of car that the Raptor was, and the Raptor was the last variant of its chassis produced from, I found a correspondence between the founder of Mosler and a perspective customer, in this the founder says that there are only two Raptors in existence, one here in Hawaii, and the other is his. so it is quite a rare car. The one I saw was a blue/green color with black lettering, but I couldnt find any pics of it. so here the other one:





Here's the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosler_Raptor

heres the chat between mosler and the customer: http://www.moslerauto.com/wwwboard/messages/89.html

After a little more digging, I have found positive conformation of the car here in hawaii. Its in this Youtube vid of this kid in his MR2 doing autoX at the statium here. The mosler Raptor is the car behind him and it passes the camera a few times, the best of which is at 0:24.
