I see your 550 Spyder and raise you a 1946 Hewson Rocket   If you are a Chrysler fan one might call this a cloud car

 I saw this happy little guy parked in front of the Beer Store this morning. Can a two-four even fit on one of these?

I remember reading that a 2jz fits in a solstice, bolts up to the stock trans and maybe motor mounts IIRC. Silly if true. E: https://www.carscoops.com/2011/06/pontiac-solstice-gets-engine-transplant/ Suburban Dad fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jul 15, 2023 |

Stumbled across this looking for something else https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1559764 quote:A Familiale sold new in north Sweden (no salt on roads) in September 1973. It was then a seven seater, but for some reason the second owner in 1978 made it into a five seater, -it is now missing the original Familiale rear seats. The car is a really good project. Was last time in traffic in 2015. I bought it in 2016, and the plan was just to make an "optical restoration", but the car has just been stored in my possession. The Chassie is very solid (I can send pictures), the only rust to be seen is some "bubbles" down on two doors and 3-4 rustspots on front fenders. Hydraulics working fine. I have the full history of the car, when it comes to owners, since new, but I don't know correct km. The car is located 200km south of Stockholm, Sweden. Citroen DS wagon so i can find this in search later. Appears to be very clean and rust free(?) Black with black and maroon interior    1973 Citroen Familiale DS20 € 8,300 sweden

The definition of “rust free” often means “there are no aftermarket holes in any of the panels.”

Just visited the https://www.sarasotacarmuseum.org/ because it's in my neighborhood, and I discovered that one of its particularly well-appointed corners is the personal collection of Piero Rivolta, heir of the Iso-Rivolta brand who also lives in the area. There are examples of 6 or 7 cars from the late-60s/early-70s heyday of the company, including this insane and amazing thing https://www.isorivoltaofficial.com/isorivolta-varedo.html   Absolutely stunning in person. So unbelievably wide and flat. I hate that we'll never see cars like this again, and even modern superexotics look like rear end by comparison

If my father and I had known that place existed, we'd have gone the last time he was in the States. All of the Iso cars are favorites of ours, from Isetta to Grifo. Instead, we went to The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum. Plenty of prototypes, one-offs, and special cars there.  (No, I will not stop plugging the place.)

Hah I didn't notice that, it's at 16:14 for those wondering. I think something broke because it stops backfiring out the top after the flash at the bottom. You can also see chunks of something flying out the side. Edit: I think it's the waste gate possibly failing, they talk about it earlier in the vid.

I know I sure would Apparently the guy is mainly into weird ridiculo power boats nowadays, but I have to imagine he's got a vested interest in keeping that museum open/funded since it's his biggest showroom in a way.
