Rear view mirror still works fine if limited with a fiberglass hatch lol. Yes it cuts down your 'hatch space' but also cuts down how much the interior heats up in the summer. Got to take the good with the bad.

I like the retro 80's style it gives my car. Its not for everyone I agree, to each his own. IMHO the big rear glass hatch makes the car look to japanish.

Lol there was a guy in the turbo forum who was looking for one. When we said not many people like them, he got all pissy.

Heh, back in the 80s this would have been a hot item I guess. Its still cool from a historical standpoint.

Absolutely. It may be out of style now, but it was popular on many different cars. Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, Datsuns, Supras, etc. I've heard it commonly called a "Pantera" hatch due to the resemblance of the rear of a Pantera. HmmmmOhhhhhyeaaaa Pantera...NOT tacky.

$5k is joke though.. I have a vintage 944 Gemballa front end that very few are interested in, Maybe I should ask $3k for it!!!

Would anyone happen to have a picture of what it looks like from the inside? It must make the 944 a lot darker interior wise.

They are so close to where I live. I pass through there all the time. How I have not seen this on the road is beyond me.
