Default Help Identifying pattern model

Hey all you Pattern experts. I'm trying to sell a plane for a friend. When he bought the model, he was told it is a Curare; so we've always though of it as and called it a Curare. I'm trying to sell on eBay, and the first questions was, "Are you sure that's a Curare?". I went to a web site that lists 100's of classic pattern planes with photos, and I didn't see a single model that looks exactly like what I have. Please take a look and see if you can positively identify this plane.

Major characteristics:
1. Upright engine mount.
2. tricycle landing gear,
3. small dorsal exhaust exit aft of canopy
4. no whachamacallit over the rudder (no non-moving part)
5. all glass fuse
6. slightly swept wing (trailing edge is not straight)
7. anhedral in horizontal stab
8. Fuselage length 53.5in. Wingspan 64.5in
