Odd, homemade design plus Mitsu four cylinder and manual tranny? Sure!
This supposedly has bits from an XJ6 and from whatever Mitsubishi sacrificed an engine to the cause. The top came from a Geo Metro (convertible?).
Someone spent a lot of time on this and is not likely to see a return on his or her investment. The seller does claim that it drives like a race car, however!

Hmm…the proportions say Model T hot rod, but the front end is confused. Mack Truck or Rolls?
Yes, that’s a spoiler in the rear.
The radius of the front end is something to behold! Is that a Mazda hood ornament?
The rear is similarly curvy with interesting finishing underneath. Yes, it does appear to offer rear-wheel drive with a solid axle (from what?!).
Auxiliary gauges are tucked under the cowl.
The entire dash and wheel seem to be pulled from some 80s car – we just can’t identify it. Please toss out some suggestions! Toyota??
Corbeau seats look fairly inviting.
This could be from anything.
As we were saying…
