Sadly way too many of old sports cars ads on FB Mktplace look like this.

Poor old Spitfire.

I'm not enough of a cark geek to remember the specific make and model but a neighbor has a 60's British two seater sportscar in their backyard. It has been stripped and gutted but from a distance it looks like an intact car. But it is in a wire mesh cage and currently being used as a chicken coop. Kinda looked like that before the project started

It would have been funny if it was a Mini Cooper with the roof removed.

I can state with authority that the back end of one of those can be easily lifted and moved by 3 or 4 roughly 16 year-old soccer players. My high school soccer team mate had one of those and we were constantly picking it up moving it into impossible lies after soccer practice.

One of my great missed opportunities was not having the $3500 in 1979 to buy my Godmother's '57 356A that was about the same color as this one IIRC. Her brother had brought it back from Germany, driven it a couple of times, had it swap ends on him on a wet downhill bend, and subsequently gave it to her declaring it a "deathtrap" (which isn't too far from the truth). She never drove it much either, and I think it had about 8000 miles on it at the time. That car is worth in the hundreds of thousands these days.

I drove one of those my senior year in high school. It would fishtail with little provocation going around corners. Kinda scary in hindsight.

I had an alcohol related nausea incident out the window of a friend’s in high school.

They couldn't get the '68 AMX GT concept out of their minds:

Wow! I've never seen that all. A Gremlin-AMX! It looks like it could have been a spacey muscle concept car for the Volvo P1800ES.

That Volvo with the Javelin AMX 343 c.i.d. V8 would be interesting.

That engine bay is TIGHT! my first car was a P1800 coupe (67 Black with Red interior). I've flirted with the idea of building a P1800ES for the kid with updated drivetrain and braking... not very doable unfortunately.

I am still thinking a LS swap might be what my 91 240 Wagon needs

 

[Guildedagain]

In the same concept, and one of the few instances where I might like a Ford mill, 260 cube V8 predecessor to the 289-302, an engine in use from 1961-2000, great example of Detroit's fast moving automotive advances.

From the Rootes Group.
