"We have Alfa at home"
Ok, here it is, the scariest Volvo powered 2 liter Can Am Racer in the world. Also the heaviest and slowest. Also the slowest and heaviest dune buggy in the world, 4 wheeler or 8. Highest bid. Shipped from the exact center of North America. Needs a little work.

Interesting, er. build? And definitely not finished.
But also, not a kit car.

It would have been fast enough to kill me in a wreck. It handled great getting pulled down the ditch at 40mph. After someone buys this, the next improved one will be a kit car. This was my 1980 college Structural Engineering 101 and
Stick Welding 101 class project with the left over stuff from my Super Duper Volvo 1800e project. I always wanted to build a parachute attached to the rear and drop it from a 150' crane just to see what if.

lol, yep, it's what was in the steel scrap pile. (edit: and with E7018 (I think) low hydrogen welding rod, was perfectly capable of doing it's job.)
Here is a unfinished kit car. Not a bad price. ;0)

Nice welds! And I'll bet the frame is berkeleyin' rigid! I'm not sure I've ever seen that much triangulation in a single chassis before! It actually drove and E36 M3?

Try THIS one...
Sorry, your link was good. It just lead to the rabbit hole it always does and the VW/Bugatti was in that hole.

Yep, that's mine! I figured someone would have grabbed it quickly, but nope, still here.

I have a friend who may be interested. I'll pass this along to him.
The Facebook link seems to be dead. Did it just get snatched up?

No pan, but if I could get that to Alabama, I'd have way cooler plans for that that rear top profile is perfect!
The killer of such body shells like the above is finding a windshield. Ad says "have windows" - hopefully that's not just the side ones. Lexan could be used, but scratches easily and isn't legal in many (most... all?) areas.
