Is it an Italia kit?

Monday August 6th, 2007 @ 4:38 PM

Filed under: Italia, Kit Cars, Mystery Cars

A friend of Josh’s spotted this car in a parking lot recently and sent him the pictures to ID. They’re pretty sure it’s a Ferrari 275-inspired kitcar, but weren’t really sure what. Part of me thinks that it’s an Italia, a kit that turns the Mazda Miata into something more red (more on the Italia), but I’m not sure if my guess is right because elements of the car like the hood design are different…

Another Quebec Mystery Car

Tuesday March 6th, 2007 @ 6:30 PM

Filed under: Kit Cars, Mystery Cars

When Isabelle and her husband first saw this buried in the snow in a backyard, they thought it might be a Vokaro because parts of the rear are similar, but the front is far too angular… Anyone recognize it? It looks like so many cars, but I can’t pin it down to just one.

Mystery Neoclassic

Éric found this Excalibur-esque VW-based neoclassic up in Quebec, Canada, and is thinking about picking it up, but was hoping a reader might know more about it. Anyone recognize the design? I’m not very good with neoclassics.

Non-FiberFab UK GT-40 Mystery Car

According to Tai who sends this in, it’s not an Avenger or other FiberFab car, and he’s been trying to find out if anyone knows what this GT-40-styled kit from the UK is and who made it… Does anyone know?

Mystery VW-Corvair Sportbuggy

Friday August 11th, 2006 @ 7:59 AM

Filed under: For Sale, Kit Cars, Mystery Cars, eBay

The eBay seller (item #180015447666, ending on the 13th of August) of this “sportbuggy” in Fortville, IN says that it’s one of two cars produced, with this being the only one still in existence. It looks to me like a VW buggy a la a Vokaro — a simple small body dropped on a shortened VW chassis. In this case the stock engine appears to have been swapped for a Corvair engine. If anyone knows more about the car, please post!

Another junkyard Siva Saluki?

Sunday August 6th, 2006 @ 10:13 AM

Filed under: Kit Cars, Mystery Cars, Siva Saluki, eBay

Dr. Dean who runs this Siva Saluki site pointed out this dishevelled kit car from an Australian eBay ad, which appears to be another mystery Saluki (although it was being sold as an “Eagle”, but given by the description “ferari front end spider doors and a lamboguihni rear” I don’t think the seller quite knew what they had). It apparently rides on a VW Type 3 chassis, has a Mazda steering setup and a box frame at the front. Saluki? What do you think? Or is it a Charger variant? (Click “Charger” in my subject index for pictures of them).

Oh, and if you’re wondering, this ened up selling for $750. I wonder if it’ll be another car that sits in this state forever, or if it will be restored. You might not guess it from these photos, but they’re really quite a pretty car when completed.

Oh, and if you know anything about the history of Sivas, their construction, components, etc., Dean asks that you also contact him via his site where he’s trying to build up an archive of information on this rare vehicle.

Mystery Avenger GT?

Wednesday June 14th, 2006 @ 10:04 AM

Filed under: Avenger, FiberFab, Kit Cars, Mystery Cars

I got this rather confusing set of pictures from a fellow Canadian kit car owner wondering exactly what he has. I’m 99% sure it’s an Avenger variant (either official or modded), because every line of the car appears to be correct except for the strange connundrum of the missing hood scoops. I can’t find reference to FiberFab ever having made an Avenger without scoops. Anyone have any information on what this car is?

It’s on a ‘65 Beetle chassis, and is made up of a main body shell, two door shells, the tail cone, a dash, and a rear panel.
