Autoquiz 368 - Finished

[carsntrucks4you]

This week I asked for a Fibre glass bodied car from the 60's. I saw this car at the Techno Classic in Essen Germany. It was for sale for 69,900€ or 112,000 AUD or 85,000$ or 61,000 GBP. 

The car is a 1969 Banjo GT with 289cui Ford engine. Bnjo was a Ohio based company who build fibre glass bodied cars with Ford and GM components.

That's a tough one. Seems to have styling elements from at least 10 different cars.

I am sure I have seen this before. If I could just remember where...........

Bill's right, I thought it was something else at first but it isn't! Like a caricature of every schoolboys dream car.

PM sent.

Thanks Michael

Interesting. I thought I knew all the old f'glass kit cars, but this is one I never heard of.

Thanks for teaching me something new.

The Banjo was based on a shortened ‘55 to ‘57 chassis with lowered suspension. Seems unthinkable now, but I recall that the classified section in Hot Rod would have two or three Short Chevys in it every month in the early 70s. They were obviously cheap and plentiful in those days.
