60s Show Car On Ebay

This is interesting. Anyone got pics of it from the 60s? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Once...ce_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_?hash=item35a521adc3

 

very cool.....

 

I dig it. Love the front end on that thing, not to mention it's poncho powered.

 

Herb Adams was known as a bit of a suspension wiz, and later became involved with the Trans-Am series with the factory Firebirds.

 

Go speed racer!! Go!

 

Thats in last months Hemmings Classic car magazine in there "ID this mystery car" section

 

Thats kind of an understatement!!

I used to work with Herb Adams during the mid-nineties. He was the lead suspenion engineer at SLP Engineering. At that time, we were doing the Fomula Firehawks for Pontiac and the Camaro SS conversions for Chevy. I was the Service and Warranty manager for those cars.

Herb was a really interesting guy. Kinda quite and soft-spoken - but new his shit better than anyone.....

That car has him written all over it - BAD ASS!!!!

 

I spotted that a hour or so ago.. What a neat looking car..

 

Very cool. Wish I had room for one more car right now.

 

Watching that one. The original Helzapoppin dragster recently went for just $5200, wonder what this will bring...

 

Looks like a skateboard.

 

I vaguely remember that car ,From magazines my dad has,Ill ask him.Cool pontiac

 

Looks a bit similar to the "Banshee" that John deLorean tried to push through as pontiacs answer to the Corvette in the mid 60's...

 

That rear end is BUTT UGLY. but kind of a neat front.

 

Wow, that thing is FUGLY. Makes you wonder what kind of drugs they were doing in the 60's!

 

Looks like a boat with wheels. Definitely interesting.

 

That's awesome! Looks like a roadster version of the Alfa Romeo B.A.T. cars from the 50s.

 

It's different, at any rate.

 

The Alfa Romeo bat cars share a striking resemblance with that car.

In the late 70's, when I was real young and a early Pontiac Trans-Am fanatic, Mr. Adams sold all the coolest suspension parts. I remember reading about that car and wondered if Bertone had something to do with it....

 

lmao. went back and looked at it again and it does look like a boat, wonder if it floats?

still gotta respect all the time in it.

 

That was my first thought too. I don't see how people are calling this ugly. It's such a smooth shape, what's not to like about it?

 

That has a wicked Alfa-meets-Jag-meets-'Vette-meets-Pontiac appeal! I'm actually attracted to the rear styling on this car, along with the Pontiac engine and eight-lugs!

 

I think it's quite pretty. Very restrained for a one-off special....expecially an American one. I'd be tempted to give it a slightly taller (and nicer) screen though....but then, it's all keyboard conjecture on my part!

 

X2!!! That thing is WAY cool!!!

 

TRUE 60's STRANGENESS....But Very Cool. You had to be there to understand

 

gnarly

 

And I thought that I wanted a Pontiac Powered 46 GMC! --- I just changed my mind, All I need is a big bucket of money!

 

gnarly shit.


i kinda like it.

 

Paging Joe Bortz...paging Joe Bortz....I would not be the slightest bit surprised if he ends up with it.

 

Kind of cool!
