Wow! That's pretty...uh....weird! 
Never seen/heard of one. The proportions are waaay off on most of it...it looks like a cheap plastic model kit, which, I guess it is, in a way...
No Sale @ $3000 reserve....there's a shock....

OMG Pinto engine.......................MAN!

A turbo or supercharger and a squirt of NOS would make that a fun ride!

Just came back from Ireland and I can tell you from experience you do not want a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side. You can easily clip a mirror on a parked car. Of course I wouldnt know anything about that ....lol

I agree - "a real head turner!" I had to turn my head so as to not puke on the keyboard!
Thanks for sharing Steve - interesting
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

It looks like a very bad cartoon C3. It almost looks kinda cool in a strange way, but when they put that Pinto engine in there just really screwed it all up.
