A Ford ZX2 with a Corvair front end. Not sure why that exists but there it is. And yes that is snow for those of you who live in warmer climates.

In reply to Feedyurhed :

I think pics of this thing have been posted before, as I remember discussions about how the Vair doghouse could have possibly been made to fit the ZX2. I’m kinda sad to see it scrapped honestly.

That car was on CL for a long time, IIRC asking $1000.

Either that car has definitely been hotlinked here before pre-junkyard, or there's at least two of these things out there.

Hmmmmmm. I thought this would be original and unique and as it turns out it has had more sightings than Elvis. Ha!  Is there anyone here besides me who hasn't seen this before?

I like the composition with the snow. The increased contrast makes it look like it’s hovering. Like what folks in the 60s might’ve imagined 2018 would look like.

This is actually a prototype several investors built in the early ‘00s.  They were going to revive the famous ‘Cord’ brand of the ‘30’s.

Well it sure gets around. In the one pic it has Tennessee plates and now it sits in a Michigan salvage yard.
