<P>The red Rotus8 in the photo at the top of this site was built by me in 1992 and sold to a dealer in Florida in 1999.&nbsp; I'm curiouis as to its current whereabouts and condition.</P>
<P>It had a 63 Buick 215, with a Carter AFB, and&nbsp;Panasport wheels.&nbsp; It probably can be identified by the rocker switch in the console that activated the brake lights and CHMSL without having to apply the brakes.&nbsp; It discouraged tailgating.&nbsp; Another unique feature was that Dennis Hedges fabricated a removable trailer hitch that&nbsp;attached to the spare tire mount.&nbsp; He included female threads inside the lower horizontal tubes of the spare tire mount when he built the frame.&nbsp; It was my plan to use it to tow a small trailer like those towed by motorcycles.&nbsp; I never used it.</P>
<P>If anyone knows more about this car, I'd be interested.</P>
<P>Thanks,</P><edited><editID>DizRotus</editID><editDate>38714.8485300926</editDate></edited>

Sneaky! BTW: What does CHMSL stand for?

CHMSL = Center High Mounted Stop Lamps

The CHMSL (Center High Mounted Stop Light or Lamp) was built into the two-tube roll bar.

I've always called the CHMSL the "ET light."
