Not much time left in this one, looks like a good chance it'll get listed again in case you missed it. For a total lack of logical reasoning, I'm tempted to buy it myself. Somebody please save me from that futility.

I don't hate it.

I also don't love it.

Those always make me think Colin Chapman was trying to copy an AMC Gremlin.

I was thinking pinto wagon, but gremlin is definitely closer.

I don't love it either. But part of me thinks it would be drastically improved with a cage and stripey livery.

Not a Gremlin or Pinto though, more like a wagon version of a Bricklin SV1.

They look pretty great when clobbered with the lowering stick. Look for The red (pink) panther Lotus Elite thread on Retro Rides.

Strangely enough that pic did two things....

1 - Convince me they can look much better in a good color at the right angle.

2 - killed my interest somehow. Looks great but in a different direction than I hoped it would.

In reply to Burrito:

That pic gives it more of a 1st gen Impulse vibe.

I am so glad this is some 3000 miles away...

Of course, I'm a sucker for project cars like this...
