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

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.
Close but no cigar;
That Volvo with the Javelin AMX 343 c.i.d. V8 would be interesting.It looks like it could have been a spacey muscle concept car for the Volvo P1800ES.

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
