Joseph E. Tyndal of Richmond, Virginia, constructed the pictured N377T (below) which flew for the first time on June 5, 1960. Powered by the 65 hp Lycoming O-145, it differed from the original by having the wing span enlarged by 2 ft 6 in (0.76 m) to 26 ft (7.92 m), endplates, a wheel control instead of a stick, a glass fiber cowling, and two dummy ¾-scale machine guns just in front of the cockpit.
Reportedly also designated Smittys JT-1 Termite, the aircraft's last registered owner was the EAA, its registration being cancelled on July 11, 1984.
The Smith Special also known as "Smitty's Termite" or simply the Smith Termite is a single place home-built aircraft, built primarily out of wood. The exception being the motor mount, struts and landing gear are made out of steel. It was designed to use an engine from an Aeronca aircraft, up to a 65 HP engine.

The list kicks off with a 1930s Jaguar – the Jaguar SS100 – and goes on to include the Mark 2, C-Type, D-Type, E-Type, the original XJ6 and the Le Mans winning Tom Walkinshaw XJR-9.
