Custom? ok
Vintage? ok
RACE CAR????

Wow. Thanks for sharing the strange find. That car is good at nothing.

POS

Sweet wheels...

Its custom all right.

I think that was the first prototype build for the Delta-Wing race car...The delta-dong.

It could be a good candidate for a "lemons" racer.

Well, it looked good to the owner....

Custom!

...it took allot of work and WHAT a vision. Impressive in a weird way.

Ready to race

Are the Monkees coming out of retirement and going racing?

Burn it to the ground.

I have seen better looking farts!

I believe that's called a 'shart'.

Must have been used in some ultra low budget movie or something. And at the end of the film they destroyed it like in Vanishing Point and this is what's left.

Exactly what I thought ..

Adds a whole new meaning to the word "unique"...

Somebody tried... and ......

....single seater...................

It's an early version of the Deltawing!

OMG! You can't un-see something like that. Yet another case for a law prohibiting people from using drugs and working on anything.

Its too bad it doesn't have a title.

Give the seller credit....Honesty is the best policy.

Quote: " Its a project/basket case."

Wonder if those sweet 6X9s are included? Serious toonage for a sick race car.

We need to create a "Bobs Country Bunker" section for these beauties.

Proof that George Barris experimented with LSD

Obviously someone with too much money and time, taste is hard to Determine...

The Monkees car is cool, that thing...well

Yes, some just criticize as their spectrum is very narrow.

Oh god.

What have I seen...



anyone recognize what they butchered to build that abomination?

not sure I want to know...

We have a pretty good idea.

If you were rich, really bored, and obsessed with 1960s sci-fi B/C movies, you could totally make a weird "futuristic" "jet car" out of that with a giant wrap around bubble windshield and rad knight rider style lights. You'd need quite a bit of weed and maybe some LSD or mescaline for the vision, but in the end you'll be set for the "21st Century," safe from 1986's WWIII atomic fallout, synced with the robot overlords, and ready to outrun the Soviet animal-human hybrid commandos that roam the portion of California that broke off into the sea in 1994. And if you have enough drugs, you could even put a MM2200 graphic on the side with some groovy red star stripes for cruising Mars in the hottest new car from Mars Motors.

I don't do drugs, but I'm crazy enough to see it. However, I'm not crazy, high, or dumb enough to do it.

I could also totally see that in the original Death Race 2000.

I should have asked "what else they butchered"

It's the single seat cockpit, stereo speakers and four-banger powerhouse combination that make it a race car, right? I need to know because I don't want to make the same mistake and ever accidentally build something like this

I know better

Arrgh!
Wow!Some congratulation is deserving for achieving the simple,crude forms.That roof,reminiscent of ragtop 'A's,is out of place though.
Perhaps suitable for some sci-fi B-movie set,the hero's ride,an atomic powered levitation machine,and why the wheels are missing.

A plan and some decent skill,why,one could hammer out a dream 'sports'car.A little imagination,and voila!A passable shape.
RSR Fuchs sets off the revised shape,tho the headlamps from a 996/986 may be more appealing.

A lot of skill is needed to hammer and bang an ally doorskin.
No small undertaking,and why the labor is so costly.

That's awesome veekry9. Wish it was that easy in real life.

However,there is little in the way of instant gratification,a lot of effort is required.
Incredibly,some of the most iconic automotive art is,in fact,hand hammered.
The reason that grp renditions are less costly than the millions for the originals.
A copy of anything,is still ersatz,not genuine,tho still beautiful.
A few years of pounding metal under the supervision and instruction of a master,and you too could create such art.
Pointed to a sheet of half hard ally,'Make an XKE's bonnet',in a few week's work.

What it looks like to me is a Fiero chassis,with tube sub-frames attached.A nice 3.4L Porsche engine +tx,mounted taildragger.
What a great idea,a super-stiff steel monocoque(unibody),with a cage and wishbone suspension to carry the big rubber.
And yes,it is a awd,long after the 959.So,the idea is not that far fetched,...'Hmm,an awd 914,wouldn't that be nice'
