"... Volkswagon-powered fiberglass body looks kinda like a 1970 Camaro." Good lord, how could this awesome business plan possibly have failed? frown

Now THIS might actually have possibilities...  NMNA

EDIT: According to Wikipedia a total of twelve (12) of these bodies were made:

 

Banshee/Caribee[edit]

In the mid-1960s Fiberfab was developing a car to be called the Banshee. It was designed by Russell and Chris Beebe, although they suggest that the mold maker made unauthorized changes to the final shape.[4] During the car's development General Motors (GM) approached Goodwin and bought the Banshee name from him.[4] GM would use the name for their Pontiac Banshee line of concept cars, starting in 1964. The Fiberfab car was renamed the Caribee.

The Banshee/Caribee had gull-wing doors and styling that has been compared to a Shelby Daytona coupe.[30] The body was made to be fitted over a variety of front-engine chassis, including ones from Triumph, MG and Austin-Healey.

Twelve copies of the car were built.[30]

Sterlings look so cool but I don't like any of the cars with canopy style openings.  I couldn't drive it knowing that or punching my way out are the only options.

If I ever found one of those small Camaros for cheap (like $500 cheap) I would totally buy it.

The kids are the best part of that ad.

Last week there was a guy selling an FFR Mk5 Cobra kit in San Jose, where I live for 27k, too. It was listed on the FFR forum. I couldn't make it over there on Monday to take a look and it sold on Tuesday, thank God. It was about where this one is in terms of completion but with IRS. My marriage is very happy it sold before I could see it...

NMNA.  I say unfinished only because the guy doesn't know Bugattis are French, paint it French blue and it's finished.

This isn't "unfinished" but I'd never heard of anyone making a 512BB kit and this is making me wonder...

That was the flaw in the Banshee (they changed the name later to Caribee) - cutting edge styling to inspire the young boy in potential buyers but little thought for ergonomics. The underpinnings were much as for the Jamaican model like I own, you just couldn't get into or out of the Banshee very easily - which is why there were only 12 of them.

The Jamaican like I own is much more user friendly - other than having to assume an almost laying down driving position, the doors are amply wide for getting in and out - in fact much better than the Lotus Europa that I tested once (had to sort of crawl out on hands and knees - delightful on a rainy day, I'm sure).

Dunno 'bout the price, but this strikes me as a candidate for somebody.
