Jantrix Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Came across this on FB today. We're pretty stumped on what it is. I figure its a kit car, but what manufacturer and based on what? The windshield is too laid back for a 80's/90's Camaro/Firebird. The nose is very 80's Skyhawk-ish. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdonm Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'd say it's a one off. Too fugly to be mass produced or even copied a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The door and windows look similar to some of the Diablo kits from the 90's but not exactly . And the wheel openings look more truck like . I worked in the kit car industry for 20 years and never saw anything like this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It appears the entire front nose and hood are metal, so that might rule out most kit cars. Whatever it is, it sure is unpleasant on the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 From the way you all are talking, I can't wait to get off this job and onto my other one so, I can see this thing. Most pictures don't show up on this "virtual network". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It has some interesting lines....not good lines.....just interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratvmnd Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I believe it's a Pondiabloreanghini. No one has ever tried to replicate one,so this may be the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Ooh, I came back and it let me see it this time. Man, this is ugly. I would definitely say 88 Buick Skyhawk is the front end they were aiming for. I gotta admit though, shorten the front end, do away with the fat fender wheels in the front, and fix the front of the door and the door window and it wouldn't look half bad. And if I could see those seats better, I would swear it is a Fiero. Edited September 27, 2013 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my80malibu Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think its the Pink Pantherfiero, repainted of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like a Bricklin, a Capri and one Anteater had an affair!! I hate to say it, but, I kinda like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Poor little car. It's so sad and horrible, I'd kinda like to take it home and give it some TLC. Sorta like an abused, one-eyed, 3-legged puppy with worms. There just MIGHT be a really good dog under there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Due to the sheetmetal front clip, I am going out on a limb to say this wasn't a kit car. Most likely a one off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I don't know, but that front clip looks fibreglass to me. The body shell actually appears to be one piece; I can't see a parting line where a seperate fender should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Is it sad that I rather like the design of it? At least it's not the plain beige of most modern cars. I'd like to see the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could just be very whethered where it looks rusted. EDIT By heck, you are right! I just noticed the hole in the fender lip.
