Z-TARD Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Found this at the local Pick and Pull today, looks like they were trying to make it look like a Volvo P-1800......maybe..... My pics wont show for some reason, but they should work if you cut and paste them to your browser window. If you ever wondered what the offspring of datsun and volvo would look like, these might be of intertest. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulla Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I think you need to buy it then finish it and you can have the only one in the entire world:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelman Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 It reminds me of an MGBGT. Wheelman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zemus Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I agree, buy it.. and then make it awesome, or just steal the rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 BUY THAT! wow thats an odd concept but it might just actually work, it almost looks like they were trying to make a ferrari 256SWB? (might not be the car im thinking of), either way I kinda like it, and it looks as though it might turn out have way decent with some work. hmmmm, it looks as though it was actually well thought out.

Trevor Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I like it. Definitely early '60s Italian influence. Those grafted panels are pretty large and seem to be pre-stamped or someone is really good with an English wheel, I can't see them as hand-beat and stiched together. I almost think the tail fins and tail light surfaces might be from a Karman Ghia or VW type III. Its a Frankencar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagz Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I agree. Definitely 60's Italian influence. I thinks its cool. If the rails and pans aren't rotted out it would be a very cool project. If it were nearer to me, I'd take a look at it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 That is a seriously cool project, and very crafty metalwork!! any way you can get a prize on that shell!!! that would make an awsome project! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Sorry about the quality of the pictures, the only camera I had was the one in my cell phone. From what I could tell, the panels were all hand made, nothing was taken from another car. Someone definitely had some skill with an english wheel, I dont think it would take much bondo at all to blend that stuff in. Unfortunately, I only have room in my garage for 1 Z, and barely enough for that. And as much as I like the design of it, it's not exactly what I'm going for with my project. I'm not sure if Ecology will sell an entire car, but if anyone is interested, its located in the Ecology import yard in southern San Diego. Directions from I-5 south: Take Main street exit, turn left on Main Street. Turn left on Nirvana, follow for about 1/2 mile. Turn right on Energy Way, Ecology yard will be the first junkyard on the right side. I hope someone buys it, or at least the front clip off of it. It would be a shame to let something like this get crushed. EDIT: Phone# for Ecology Import yard is (619)661-4542 http://www.ecoparts.com/locations.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roggaman Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Looks like a Ferrari 330 to me. But it got some lines from the MGB GT too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 KINDA LOOKS LIKE A 50'S VETTE FRONTEND WITH A VW/PORSCHE TAIL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXR_KiD Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I'd say that an MG would be the best guess... and yes very good job with the metalwork... I'd go pick it up and finish it if I had the room/money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
