    Your gonna have to dig deep on that one! Start off with measuring the wheelbase. Try to identify the rearend. Try to identify front suspension, motor mounts, trans mounts. Any gauges in it that may have just been reused? The amount of hours that were put into it at one time means there’s definitely somebody out there with some kind of info on it. Good luck!

    I think someone made a lot of trips to a junk yard and drug a bunch of stuff home and put it together. Drugs were may have been involved. Then, after several years, the person just had to add the big HP hood scoop.

    I know its a horrifying thought, but I think I'd kind of like to see a side view....

    At least someone tried to build a vision he had in his head, only he knows how well he did with achieving that vision. I think it fits in with a lot of customs I've seen. Some just miss the mark, but a guy doesn't know until he tries. Gene

    I'd be tempted to park it next to my shop. Anybody that sees it will go someplace else to break in.

    Wow, you guys are slippin’. 75 posts and no one has identified it.
    It looks like a modified Opel GT front clip with a Metro windshield and a Triumph rear clip cleverly integrated with some hand formed side panels. Maybe the Griswold Family Sportster?

    That brings ugly to another dimension. A schizophrenic baboon wouldn't drive that to a banana buffet served by baboon women.
    These are ugly...but not THAT ugly! 20210125_160300.jpg

    Dang, I recall all those VW dune buggy things with the flower stickers on them as a kid. Always wanted one. When I was 15 or so years older, there was a black and white photo of one for sale in the paper. I went to look at it, it wasn’t trashed or anything, but when I left I thought “why did I ever like those?”
    Your reply reminded me of that. :)
