Huh! Subaru "Tortoise"...?

Found this photo in my FB feed.  Here's the explanation.  Discuss!

Wow, looks a lot like a 911 Targa I know.

I hope those "wheels" are actually large finned brake drums, and the actual wheel is just a rim, like an old Pontiac with heavy duty brakes.

Sure are, if just under 7" counts as large...

I would totally solve mysteries while driving that around.

Ok, if I was 100 lbs lighter and 4 inches shorter so I could get in.

Professor Higgins?!?!  But why?!?!

That's pretty awesome. 
 

Any specs on the car?  Should we assume that it was basically a rebodied Sambar 360?

This is the 2nd reference to Pontiac 8-lug wheels on GRM in a month, and I'm here for it. 

Woof is that ugly............I love Japanese cars but man it sure seems like they use deep sea creatures as their design inspiration.

Probably needs head gaskets.

I was goofing around.

Subaru = automatic head gasket response.
