Another Malcolm Bricklin special.
0-50? 37 seconds.
But I'd get it in a second if I had the space/money.

1 of 1056 made. Complete except has no windshield. That shouldn't be too hard to track down, right?

This was an inexpensive vehicle. All the glass in it is flat.
How inexpensive? The chassis and engines were from salvage yard 1941 Plymouths. The bumpers on the early models were oak. Why were there only 1056 made? Because they ran out of old '41 Plymouths.

It is one thing to ruin a GXP of a Civic SI with tacky body work and awful paint.
But doing that to a 250GTE, well that should be a felony. I assume it is already a mortal sin.

Behold! Look into the face of HORROR.

How does someone with that level of bondo skill even get hold of a car like this?
Still, even at that price, it is sorta tempting to fantasize about buying it and slowly righting the wrongs while you drive it. Given how poo poo most of the work is, it might even be possible to knock most of it off with a hammer.

And once you get past the bondo, it's not like the chevy motor and TH400 auto are anything special, either.

With a front mounted distributor that's not a Chevy engine, looks to me like either a Caddy or Buick V8.

That's what I get for blindly believing the seller...

I'd say Cadillac 472 family, based on firing order.
