It's a rare three-fifty-eleven Speedbriolet.

Apparently the owner doesn't know either, selling it after only 700 miles.

You are correct, Steve. Beautifully done, but looks pretty stupid.

That's a less sophisticated version of Harry Pellow's blue beast.

Artificial reef candidate. As long as that paint doesn't scare off the sea life.

Gagnificent way to remove any power to weight ratio advantage this poor car ever had. Contrary to popular opinion fiberglass and bondo used in inappropriate amounts is both expensive, time consuming, heavy and messy but it does allow the rank amateur to come up with some interesting but often badly conceived concepts.
