oddball cars that you love

Had this POS for several months before its appreciated demise. A kewl car if you put a fiberglass body and hell replace everything else while your at it. Few cars ever made worst than a Vega. This is 73 and is in much better shape than the one I had 30 years ago.

I bought a junky Vega when I was in high school for $200, was on my way to the auction to sell it and the damn thing blew up.

My very first car was left to me by my Grandfather:

1960 Studebaker Lark, Beige with a L-6 Flathead engine & 3-on-the-Tree standard tranny. I drove this car for 2 years until I blew the engine.

My next purchase was sort of a "muscle car":

1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S with an auto tranny. The 225 slant six engine was bored to 234 and had a 4 bbl Holley, headers and an exhaust dump. This car would run low 17's and regualrly beat V8's at the strip.

After the service I briefly had one of these:

1957 BMW Isetta 300... I kept it for a while, but it never ran very well. It had a 298cc motorcycle engine, 4 spd tranny and chain drive connected between the gearbox and the rear axle. Popularly known as "bubble car" "egg mobile" and "coffin car", I never drove it much - it was unnerving not having anything in front of the door and steering wheel!

Pretty oddball cars, in my opinion....
