Default Two Interesting Cars for Sale

And both are worlds apart!!

The pricey one first. Located in Etobicoke.

http://www.autotrader.ca/used_cars_C...8629&r=ontario

The next one from London Ontario with a 1600cc in it is at the other end of the scale. No wonder he says he know's of only four in Canada. Wow, even it's mother would vote this one off the island... I think the name 'Fiberfab' is an oxymoron to be frank. Registered as a 'VW Muir'?? Someone snuck something past MTO... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir_(Volkswagen)

Yet what is up with the plate on the back??

He should at least have tried offsetting the torsion bars by a tooth.

It looks and probably handles like a boat! The body does look like a Ford GT body, but it's about... hmm... 6 inches too high off the ground?

That is what the ad says.

Back in the 70s there were a lot of car kits for the VWs with torsion bar front ends.

There was the Bradley GT, and another that looked like a Porsche 917, amongst many others.

Remember the Manic GT? A car out of Quebec, but not built on a VW chassis.

wow, the CGT is priced at $0.

They obviously know their stuff about the car... "Cylinders: 8"

LOL - your showing your age!

The order they are placed in has changed but they look the same I think. Good eyes. You too must have former Vega ownership nightmares in order to spot this!
