From myth to masterpiece, the first street car he ever built will become a legend. The curvaceous Daedalus roadster, hand-built from scratch over a span of 17 years in a two-car garage, is a one-off original design with a hand-formed aluminum body, 302-cubic-inch GMC inline six-cylinder engine, C4 Corvette suspension, Truspoke wire wheels, and custom leather interior.

Inspired by European sports roadsters that ruled Sebring, Le Mans, and high-end tracks around the world in the late 50s and early 60s, owner and builder Kris Heil incorporated styling cues from Aston Martin, Jaguar, Ferrari, and Porsche without copying any particular design. Come along as Nicole Johnson learns the art of the English wheel and takes Kris for a coastal ride across Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur, California.


ABOUT KRIS HEIL: Kris is a retired firefighter from Northern California who serves as crew chief for his brother's Formula Ford race team. He is currently accepting offers to purchase The Daedalus. For more info about The Daedalus and how to reach Kris, please visit his website.
