John E. Finley, William B. Phillips and E. Lee Price incorporated Banjo Corporation at Mineral City, Ohio, on 28 April 1969. William Bruce Phillips designed the company's sole automobile, the Banjo GT, as a dramatically low sports car only about 43 inches high. Its 100-inch-wheelbase chassis could accept several American V8 engines, allowing customer and kit-builder choices rather than imposing one standardized drivetrain. Both closed coupe and open roadster bodies were advertised or built. Sources place actual vehicle activity across 1968–70, beginning before the corporation's formal registration, and total output reached only eleven cars or kits. The legal corporation remained recorded long after automobile manufacture, with Marilyn S. Domer becoming its registered agent in 1998 and Morris Domer listed as president; continued corporate existence does not imply later GT production or additional models.
