    A guy on a local forum saved this shell from the local big trash pickup day.

    Can anyone make an ID? I tend to think it is a reverse trike.

    Odd that I was thinking about this exact car earlier today. It had to be 25 years ago that my dad took me to look at one of these that was for sale. I remember it like it was yesterday, but I can't remember the name. It was silver with black trim. I was just thinking if any of these were still around and kind of thought about building one. I'll be talking to my dad this weekend and I'll see if he can remember what they were called.

    Eh, maybe it's not what I was thinking of:

    The tri magnum was I think what I was thinking of.

    who cares, build it around a 1000cc cycle back half and pinto/chevette front setup and have fun.

    I lost interest by the time I got to the "D's", but I did find this along the way:

    Looks like an interesting body for a Locost fuel economy car.

    I agree, the car in the original post appears to be missing the back half bodywork but the front is dead on for the firearrow.

    Except for the headlights. They kill it. The cobra wasn't that bad, but for the price of the conversion you could build your own kit Cobra and not go around confusing everyone.

    I actually don't mind the headlights. Where can I see more about this Miataston thing?

    You have a Gen 1 fireaero front part reverse trike body. Not many made!. Invite yourself to our Fireaero group on yahoo or look it up to learn about them.
