Not 100 percent certain, but it looks like sunlight is coming in from the lefthand side, and from a wide aperture; probably not a window.

I've never even heard of these but it's a weird little mid-engined Italian car and I like the color

I looked into these a while back, apparently aside from the usual rust and Italian build quality these only really suffer from a shifty synchro in 2nd/3rd gear. Outside of that they're supposedly fairly solid considering it's an Italian car from the 70s... One of the great Bertone wedge designs and the 'older brother' of the Stratos.

Yeah it looks really neat, the context is that my friend is now interested in a little old sports car (old because they're cheap and don't need emissions testing) so a relatively unknown Italian car might not be right... best choice would probably be an MG Midget since I have about 1,000lbs of spare parts already.

For 3900 that thing better be perfect inside and out, and it looks pretty rough. They are fun cars and have a lot of advanced stuff for the day like 4-wheel disc brakes. If you have to have one you are much better off watching xweb for a deal, the cars there tend to be well taken care of and 4k can get you a really nice example http://xwebforums.org/index.php

Absolutely not. I remember selling those pieces of poo poo, those cars are not a fine wine. The only type of collectors for those should be front lawns in the South.

People said the same thing about worn out shitbox 40s cars that became hotrods in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, too.

Also that ls400 that "just needs a starter" is the worst kind of cruelty. Or the best april fools prank, I'm not sure. That damned starter and internal/concentric slave cylinders are my favorite example of cheap parts that 99% of the population would be angry about the labor bill for.

I doubt you're talking about me but I used to own one with a Yamaha V-4 bike engine transplant. Still had the transaxle for reverse so five speeds backwards as well. If I was looking to buy one I'd get the best example I could possibly find because even a perfect example is only worth a few thousand and most of them have been crushed so spares are getting rare.

A guy here bought one of those and did hardly anything to it and it destroyed people at rally-X. The suspension was totally hosed and you'd see the wheel shaking like crazy and it still was crazy fast, even though it was missing quite a few ponies that had left the barn.
