    Maybe this isn’t traditional, or a Hotrod, or a Custom Classic — but it might be from 1965 or earlier. The seller calls it a Kicar in the FB ad. I know it’s ugly, but still interesting. Anyone recognize this car, or is it a one-off? Reminds a little of a Crosley Hot Shot. Thanks.

    Oh my!!!

    Man, it looks like it could be a chopped up 914? Or an MG, triumph or something all chopped up? 20210123_083227.jpg

    It looks like a Warthog on wheels. The only thing that can improve the looks of that car, is 5 gallons of gas and a match!

    Ugly...most certainly. My guess on the cadaver they started with is a late 60's Triumph Spitfire. The rear fenders and wheels, and the general shape of the windshield posts would be my clues. What I don't have the slightest clue about is why anyone would do something like that to a Spitfire.:eek:

    Rear wheel definitely looks foreign. By the size of it, may be mid 60's to 70's British two seater, MGB maybe?

    nothing like the Saab....which is a sleek coupe.

    hint: use google to see what the car you have in mind, really looks like
