Dang! I bet that thing has some get up and go.


Woudn't want to take it on the Highway, no one would see you.

Then again, you could hide from the cops under a Semi

Has IIHS crash tested it for safety yet? I went there! That's a interesting ride but not sure how piratical it is or if it's road legal.

I was thinking the same thing. How could they get plates for it. I know that a Tryke can get away with it due to it has 3 wheels. 3 or less consider it a motorcycle and thus no crash test required. But this has 4 wheels and so not sure they would let him have a plate. But then again, the old time roadster did not have anything to keep you alive. It had no roll bar or nothing. Just a bucket seat, T-Bucket that is, Big V -8, small frame and 4 tires. hehe.

I "designed" an F1 car that looked like that. Arrows F1 didn't write for my resume....

Maybe it is a 'kit car' . More than likely it is for shows and probably is not even licensed. I don't see a windshield or airbags.... BUT it does look like fun!!

FWIW - I'm willing to bet this picture was taken around '82-'85 in one of those states where legal is just a word and nothing else.
