Anyone see this one yet? Lots of work but still under $1000 and you would be the only one on your block to have one.

I would love to rock that with a DOHC engine from one of those RWD Isuzus.

I absolutely love weird mutant cars and even I think the current $700+ bid is about $800 more than I'd pay to take that thing off his hands.

Makes me wonder what kind of pharmacuticals were used in the Fiat offices. That car does not have a single redeeming virtue.

I'm with JThw8.

I'm a MAJOR lover of weird, quirky, and strange little misfits of cars, but...

...I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

Ugly. I mean really ugly.

But interesting in a weird kinda way. The history is interesting also. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as some homebrew cars I've seen. I like John Browns idea.

I just took another look and have determined that the nose looks like a catfish mouth. All it needs is a big hook...

I think the history is interesting too. If this was truly built in late 50's then it is a fairly rare example of a body kit/swap concept that was available at the time. Still hideous though...

Check out the battery placement (directly behind fuse "panel"). How in the hell do you get it out/hook up the leads? Pull the body?

Gotta love the carb stacks sticking out the hood AND a big hood scoop that I guess is there just to add wind resistance?
