what say the peanut gallery? is it a replica of something? looks sorta like a gazelle replica from front and side but the boat tail is throwing me off

i was going to work on my 53 chevy this winter but its a pile of rust and probably best used for parts for my 54.

what kinda chassis would you run and why? i have a complete 96 2wd blazer that can be a donor, it makes too much sense since they use s-series as donors for stalkers

some 2x3 rails with ifs and some kind of link rear, a straight 4 or 6, maybe an atlas engine. of course i sold my trailblazer engine. ecotec pullout from a sky/solstice?

or should i just keep my eyes closed, go lalalala, and work on what i already have

i figured you guys would be all over this pile of parts.

any thoughts? not sure if i am looking for an enabler, or someone to tell me to cut it out, or bunches of both.

The funky rear makes me wonder if it's set up for a VW Bug chassis.

Hmm, how could you go wrong? I won't buy it out from under you, but if you decide to pass on it, please let me know. Seriously.

Looks to be more dune buggy than hot rod, and not in a good way.

S 10 chassis. Old school 350. Go fast and with a stupid smile on you face. And, tell the unwashed masses that it has a VW engine.

for the sake of my garage, go check it out and if you like it buy it. the more i think of it the more i think i almost like it, but not quite enough to run there tomorrow. if it's still around this weekend i might $300 lowball them, just because i don't know how hard it would be to title.

That tiny trans tunnel and a funky rear make me agree that it has to be set up for a VW

You could always chop the back down if you want to, its just fiberglass after all!

I would power mine with an air cooled Deutz diesel.
