The US government isn't the only one who can keep secrets for decades; many US citizens do as well. For instance, while the US government was secretly designing its F-117 stealth fighter in the 1970s, one US teen was doing something similar with his car. That car would go on to become a real life Frankenstein's monster of supercars, built from the wrecks of dead Mach Ones and Bosses, and enlivened with Shelby racing tricks.

And, also like the F-117, it incorporated some stealth and weapons innovations of its own, only for the street rather than the air. The end result was one wicked black beast, unstoppable, unbeatable (and often unbelievable, to witnesses of the era). This car and driver were never caught; their secrets never revealed. Until now. Dark Horse: The Official Shadowfast Supercar Technical Reference, is available exclusively for the Kindle and Kindle apps. Know the beast: see its secrets for yourself!

Why have you never heard of this car before? you might ask. Excellent question!

The builder/driver of the car grew up in one of the worst outlaw counties in the nation, where often the only thing distinguishing officers of the law from the criminals was a uniform. Being a young man with a yen for adventure, the builder/driver largely embraced his circumstances, and so may have crossed the line himself on occasion. Ergo, keeping his actions and his car's capabilities secret was not only practical, but vital to his freedom and well being.

The passage of some thirty years since the events eased his concerns somewhat, leaving him willing to tell his story to the public (with certain details changed for reasons of privacy and others, of course). But perhaps the biggest reason you never heard of this before was that this car and driver were never caught, and so never forced by the authorities to reveal themselves, as so many other outlaws of the time were.
