Namco pony?

Namco pony

I have never heard of this vehicle before. Ad sounds flexible so you could probably get it for challenge money...

In reply to Ojala:

And Ford 1300 hotrod parts are available.

Edit: A Lotus Twin Cam should bolt in too, though that would bump you out of the Challenge.

NAMCO's website is great:

"Within NAMCO’s Philosophy of

HARMONIC ECONOMIC BALANCE (HEB)

through TALENTISM,

we have created two NEW DIVISIONS"

I feel like that's the result of somebody who bought a metal brake and a welder and decided to make a truck body to mount on a miata chassis.

Dammit, i was hoping it was the Namco that made arcade games.

It's a good thing that's over a thousand miles from me.

There is a 4 car carport behind my garage if someone needed to store something till they can pick it up...

i like it, i wonder if they would take a Zuma 125 in trade?

It looks like a Playmobil version of a 2nd gen Ford Courier. In other words, it's AWESOME.

Why do I want this so much??

My thoughts... swap an EGT motor in there, find some sticky rubber, coilover sleeves and make some adjustable ARB links, Bob's your Uncle!!

You want it because it's cool. Coming up with a soft top shouldn't be too much work:

I like the stacked headlights in this photo but do prefer the round ones in the ad OP linked to. If that was local I would be in trouble. Fortunately it's just too far for me to make it feasible even with local storage. (Thanks though Ojala!)

That thing is terrible and awesome at the same time. I'd at least go and look at it if it was close.

Now the owner is flexible at $1600...

Looks like the car that they would drive off a cliff in a B movie.

That's the Valencia version of the Crossflow. It was shortened just enough that the normal Crossflow hot rod parts don't fit. At least I'm assuming it is the Valencia since the sparkplugs all point in the same direction and the XFlow plugs point towards each other.

It looks like a home-made version of those golf cart pickups greenskeepers drive around country clubs. $1600 with a rodent eaten harness, dry rotted tires, rat eaten top, something wrong with the fuel tank and no title?

For $350-$500 I'd drive across town to get it but not much further. For any more than that .... there is this:

I'd bid on one of those Caprices if you can store/pickup. I can't make it out there within 5 days of the auction's end.

In reply to Ojala:

It's serial number 000001. You never heard of it, because this is the only one.

In reply to Sil80redtop:

Those caprices left $2017 land a while ago. I talked to a friend at Garland and he said they usually go for low book, which is about right for condition, in the $4000 range.
