When I lived in Indianapolis as a teen, a neighbor had one of those 3 wheel Messerschmitt cars. Strange looking thing.

I almost ended up with one of these. My Grandfather had started to restore it back in the late 60's and never finished it. He passed in 1993 when I was in New Mexico and my Uncle hauled it to the junk yard.

I worked on one in Virginia, mid 2000's. The shop was a group of old retired dealership guys, the Chevy foreman brought all his Corvette customers with him. Guys with really weird stuff, half tracks, Dihatsus, Shelbys, etc. Said it was hard to drive in traffic, liked to stall when it got over 100* and wouldn't restart hot. I think they told him to stop driving it in traffic in August

I’m working on my late-grandfather’s 1959 F-100. It’s not rare, but I’ve only seen about 5 others in person.
The 3rd generation F-100s from 1957 through 1960 are nicknamed “Fridges” because of their incredibly straight bodies and barely rounded edges. Each year had a different hood and grille. Dealers could put on whatever rear bumper the customer wanted. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rixae86: Originally Posted By LDAguy: “ Is that what McCormick’s Coyote was ? @JerkStore . @LDAguy Yup. I wanna say Porsche super 90 power? Actually, no. It was similar, but the Coyote X was VW framed with a 914 engine. The body was based on the McLaren M6GT. The stunt car was basically a VW dune buggy with a body kit. The second season Coyote X was built on a DeLorean chassis and was visibly different (and ugly). The stunt car is at the Hollywood Cars Museum in Las Vegas.  The Manta Mirage was designed and built by Brad and Tim Lovette. They grew up in Kansas with my dad and used to talk about the sports cars they were going to build some day. They actually did it.
