hmm... im not so familiar with it, but it definately looks to have surfaced sometime in the late 70's.... some of the lines look similar to a 'bricklin' but mostly not

in koblenz, do you happen to live near a TRW plant ?(near there is the only place ive ever seen a 959 on teh road)

Looks to me like a Eureka, not a common car. I think it was built off a VW Beetle chassis. They were sold as kits made of fibreglass I believe

ewwww....
no accounting for taste i suppose, but a rare car is a rare car so i'm sure it was neat to come across.
i can see elements of the Lancia Stratos in the back, and the front lights made me think GT40 right away.

thanks for posting the pics though, its nice to see something new
