What Was Gm Thinking With This Concept?

Saw this on the Barret Jackson list coming up next month. I will be there so I guess I will make it a point to go up on stage with this one and get some pics

I saw a Briklin? For sale on CL the other day. Kind of looked like the gull winged DMC. Nice.

Thats beautiful compared to the ugly ass crap they are doing today

They are both aimed at me, I guess.

I always liked the idea of a Corvette or F body 2-door wagon, some concepts (going back to the '50s) having been executed better than others. I think this one looks pretty good, and would be easy to manufacture.

I like the 6th gen. too!

I'm sorry but that wagon is downright sacrilegious ... sorta like making Mike tyson fight in pink undies.. with lace.. lol

possibly going after the British market with a "Trans Am Shooting Brake"?

CAR IS MADE UP OF LEFT OVER VW PARTS/LOL.

Bricklin SV-1 - Wikipedia

Did not read about VW parts. It does have Ford parts...my bad for using the "F" word up in here.

 

[DynoDave]

Some years. Later ones are Ford I think. Earlies are AMC, IIRC.

Looks to be very close to a Pantera that Ford built around the same time frame minus the gull-wing doors.

IMHO, the Pantera is a very cool ride... mid-engined Italian [near] supercar with reliable Ford muscle (351C) - nothing from Bricklin is even remotely "close". This example is not exactly stock, but you can get the idea...
