Founded in the United States by Tom Di Antonio, a former collaborator of Carroll Shelby, HTM was involved in the development of the famous Shelby CSX4000 'continuation' cars. With a tubular chassis identical to that of the originals and a very high level of craftsmanship, HTMs are considered to be unofficial continuations, far superior to generic replicas. This car is a rare, sought-after and fully reliable example.
