Movie Car ?

S I M I L A R TO TO M R A P I N I ’ S P R E D I CA M E N T, B O N D H A N S O N wrote in about what he’s calling the “movie car, ” an unidentified fiberglass object with no real information about its origins.

“The story is that it was built on the back lot of a movie studio for bit parts in movies,” Bond writes. “Some people think that it was in the movie Death Race 2000 ” According to IMCDB.org, that’s a swing and a miss, but it does have a mockup-to-look-good-for-the-cameras vibe to it On the other hand, Bond notes that it does have a full drivetrain (Hillman Husky four-cylinder and transmission, Ford 9-inch differential, all somehow mounted to a Volkswagen chassis) and was at one point upholstered. It even has instruments, a handbrake, and a reasonably accessible fuel filler, as we see from the pictures.

We’re not ruling out that it appeared on celluloid at some point; if it did, let us know from which cinematic masterpiece you recognize it. That said, it could very well have just been somebody’s homebuilt project car, in which case we’d like to know whose.
