Perhaps a kit car? Looks like one I used to see at one of my neighbors house years ago. Not much of a picture to go by.

looks like one of them fake Dusenburgs that were built on a mid 80s Buick chasis. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

It does look similar to this kit car that sits in my bassplayer's garage. It's on an old bug chassis.. I want it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I think you may be recalling the Stutz Blackhawk.

Glad you found out what car it was, the only unfortunate thing is I see from the dash it is built on a 80's Ford. I would not touch any Ford from the 80's to current. I just have no faith in them at all. I have a friend with a 2002 F150 that he bought new. It uses a quart and a half of oil between changes, when he asked Ford about it, they said that was acceptable. I call BS.

For those of you that don't know Tony, that is a picture of his daily driver that you see in his post.

Don't like it. Just my opinion. I do like Napoleon's ride though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Also didn't realize that they still make them new. Priced a shade under $100K up to $160K. Seems like a lot of moola for a ford with a coachbuilt body on it.

Zimmer Motor Cars

Tony got his Zimmer as a roller for almost free. He saw an ad on Craigslist. He's always stumbling across good deals like that. He put a type IV into it for now because he had a spare from one of his 914s, but he's going to put a Subaru engine in it.

A TIV in a Zimmer?!? Now that's pretty cool. Props to Tony.

I found the Zimmer Quicksilver in a Google search. Mid Engine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) based on the Fiero chassis. Only 170 ever built.

Unfortunately, it is just a 1.7L. But he proved he could do it. He wants a little more power and a more modern engine, that's why he's going Subaru. He's converting his 914 first to gain experience. He wants to do the Zimmer right.
