It does not matter a lot, but I found this fiberglass body, and am going to build a car around it, but I have never seen one with this nose on it. The sides and rear look similar to many out there but not the nose.
I was just wondering who made it, and what the model might be called.
The ultimate plan is to actually cut it up, make it wider, longer, mustang II front end, custom chassis, and put an LS4 in it as a mid engine car, with a roots style supercharger. Going to be a while before I get this done, but starting to gather parts.

It's interesting is what it is.
With the plans you have for it... and I am not trying to be a smart a$$ here... it will not be anything that it used to be so perhaps what is is now is a mute point. _________________ Our cars get old, we get old but driving an old VW never gets old! |

quite true, I was just curious, and potentially wanted to see if could search for it (using the name I don't know), to see what others had done with it, for ideas (mainly bumper/head lights).
Certainly not horribly important, I just thought this group may know. |
