Blah, blah, blah, 1930s bus with a small block, yeah, seen a million of 'em.

Click to the very last photo, what's that white car on the left?

I knew you guys would know, but I'd love to spend some time in his garage.

Something custom would be my guess. Maybe something for the salt flats...looks a bit streamliner-ish.

Forget the bad custom body job. What's the blue thing in the middle that is a foot lower than an MGB?

More likely a Kelmark GT

One thing is for certain... there is an eclectic loon near Joliet that I'd like to hang with and tip a few. He can keep the bus though.

No, Opel GT has a slightly different front and is at least as tall as an MGB IIRC.

I think that the blue car is a Marcos.

Look at his other auctions, it seems to be this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290554999191

It's a kit, an "Allied Atlas."

Edit: Or, according to his addendum, potentially a Kellison Astra.

Just got an email from the seller, I asked about the white car in the foreground.

Seller said: it was a hand built car built in the early sixties to promote batman and robin icecream
