Here is a cute little car that I recently sold to a fellow in Florida. He was very happy to get it. Allready has it running then he tore it apart and is restoring it.
This came from a family of mini machines.

Craig, there is an old old Honda car here in town, half the size of a teener, and it has a wind-up key sticking out of the rear end.

(I know that's not stock.. )

Any idea what the model could be?

Just so you don't draw back like a salted slug, I am asking because of your seemingly somewhat infinite knowledge on old stuff, and oddities, NOT HONDAS... PER SE.

miles, is it the one with the back window that looks like a scuba mask?

Craig, how 'bout PABLO?

I dunno buddy, I can't remember looking at the backside.. it's a real hoot though.

Mini Moke, but is that a Allis-Chalmers in the background?

Posted by: boxstr Oct 9 2003, 09:35 PM

Miles, If it is the roadster then it would be one of three S500, S600 or S800.
Sean I mean't, not name the car, ID the car.

Likely a Honda 600. First Honda car imported to US.

Posted by: boxstr Oct 9 2003, 09:39 PM

Correct that is an Allis Chalmers and no that is not a Mini Moke.

So how many times canI guess???

Looks like it could be a kit car called the Veep (VW/Jeep) Had a FG body on a VW frame. But then again it looks like a european made something.

As many guesses until guessed. HINT: Made in USA and not a kit car.

At first it looks like a Mini Moke ( I was looking for one when I stumbled across 914's)....but it's too tall for one and too short.

I'd guess a Cub?

Posted by: VegasRacer Oct 10 2003, 03:00 AM

I think you should name that car KERMIT

And NO I don't know who made it.

Posted by: Jeroen Oct 10 2003, 03:12 AM

Looks like one of the first models of Suzuki SJ jeeps
But since you saiz it's made in the US... I dunno

cheers,

Jeroen

Looks like a Crosley Jeep to me. What is it?

Posted by: kafermeister Oct 10 2003, 06:41 AM

How 'bout a Crosley Farm-o-road?

Posted by: mharrison Oct 10 2003, 07:29 AM

Is it an early Bantam?

Posted by: ! Oct 10 2003, 09:03 AM

It's green....so either "Boooger" Or "Kermit".....

Posted by: BIGKAT_83 Oct 10 2003, 09:28 AM

How about the Jeep version of a KING MIDGET.

Posted by: boxstr Oct 10 2003, 10:01 AM

WE HAVE A WINNER.........Kafermiester has been the closest. It is built by Crosley in San Diego Calif. It is a Crofton.

Crosley was a strange car, but it won the Index of Performance at Sebring one year. If I remember right the engine was stamped outta sheet metal of something weird like that.

Had I not been from Cincy, I probably wouldn't have even considered a Crosley. I did some looking on the net a few minutes ago. Didn't Crosley sell out to the folks who made the Crofton?
