That's a twist. It appears from the picture that it is a cross between a shark and a can am.
Note the sides of the fenders and the back end can amish.
The seats look to be 79 and up and glass roofs.
These are the wheels Tyla wants I think.
The top of the car looks like a shark.
Makes you wonder if that thing was built by photopoint.
Another car surfaces.
It seems like Harry was talking a while back about a car in that area at a lot.
Could this be the one?
Wonder what the price is?

Every since I saw the full "Turbo" rear clip at the Turkey rod run I wondered what a mating of the mako and the turbo would be,
They even put the front flares on this one...wonder if it has a mako rear window?
Maybe it started as a mako and got a face lift.
Two totally different looks came together far nicer than I thought in my mind they would...I dig it alot!
Yeppers,Randy I admit I dig the wheels, and the Cal custom scoop on the hood is the one I want on my carb under the hood, The seats look a little more C-4 to me and I can't tell what's going on with the rear roof half...
all in all a most wonderful custom,
Maybe we will luck out and get a few more pics and a price tag...my credit card's not maxed out yet...lol
No offense meant but a car this radical is NOT numbers matching, lol
Photo shops are great fun, I have put my friends heads on some shall we say "embarassing" bodies...all in good fun...
Cheers, all.
T.

It could be 84 & up seats, I can't really tell. Its a bit much for me, but I'm with you, need more photos and a price, could be the orig. engine for the car, but that is about it, and I question that.
Would like to see more of the grille treatment.

The reason I was thinking c-4 seats is the shoulder pads look thick...who knows I thought of putting c-4 seats in my car but most "experts" tell me you can't use them with the electric rails , I dig my power seat so I put that on the back burner.
Cheers, T.

The more you look, the more you see.
Our man Harry knows some info, he may enlighten us further.
It would be neat to see the tilt operation with that massive fender structure. It could be a possible rub problem, not to mention stress cracking. Hope it was put together by someone who knew how to glass stuff up right.

If done right the "Turbo" panels become one with the car, the original car body under them should be cut away but I have seen them just "capped" on over the body.
The turbo panel will have to be cut same as the rocker to open.
The turbo panels will make that clip almost twice as heavy than it is without them, so I would hope there is some good frame work on the underside of the clip to prevent flex.
My guess is the first cracking place would be where the hinges mount to the clip....
Yes Harry, if you have more info on the real deal of this car fill us in...
T.

Wicked looking. No air or Power brakes. If no power steering, it will be a hoss to handle. Someone spent a bunch of hours on this car. Interior is really 70s cool.
Just a little to much for me.
I can't believe I said that.

"Randy"
