Looks like a one night stand between an Avanti and a 280-Z. It is a cool looking car, but I have never heard of one before. Probably one of those kit cars. :rolleyes:

Reminds me of an Opel GT.

A very nicely built kit car. Wonder what donor car was for the frame or if it used a custom frame.

Never even heard of it. For some reason, my first though was an old Javelin. Kind of a cool looking car though.

That's pretty silly looking. I agree that it looks like a mutated 280Z. He sure doesn't give very many details about the car. Pretty much a typical e-bay seller...."I have this, it's rare, pay me a lot for it". Are you shopping for another car? hehe

Tail lights look like they are from a Ford Pinto.

It's a kit car. Basically a light weight Vette.

Great idea for those who wanted Vette performance in the late seventies

That's exactly what I thought! :lolg: Though maybe (as posted above) they're from an old Maverick...

Still doesn't really strike me as a kit car, tho... I have to say, I like the profile from the rear, except for those lovely taillights. The hood opening has an odd shape that I've never seen before, which adds to my suspicion that it's not a kit car. Definitely an unusual car! Fugly headlights, otherwise nice lines, I think. And WHAT is up with that "stroked 327"???
