While at the Carlisle Import Auto Show over the weekend I came across the one and only kit car vendor with a seven. CRS Inc had a display with their Capefear 7. I talked to Dave Culp, president of the company about his car for a good long while and took some pictures as well. The car on display was his daily driver and had about 30,000 miles.

The car is Miata based and is meant to use the complete Miata suspension including A arms. He has heat and AC in his cartaken directly from the donor,

The extra tall top on his personal car is so that his 6'5" son-law can drive the car. I don't think having the top this tall is a production item.

The website below has information, though not all of the options are there because his wife made him take some down due to mis-spelled word.
http://www.capefear7.com/#From talking to Dave I gathered that this company is something he is doing since he retired from the classic car restoration business.
My overall impression is that he is doing this because he enjoys it and isn't planning on being the next Factory Five.
