So many angles, so little time. This is a cool and unique car but I just can’t get past the 70’s wedge mixed with Gremlin back end… and apparently the gremlins that ate the interior and wiring. Still at $1600 bucks, might be worth the investment.
The photo I posted is a “stock” photo. Mike who owns the car didn’t post any pictures.
Find it here in Michigan on Craigslist.
