The Lamborghini Diablo headlights were so cool that Nissan ripped them off for the 300ZX.

Now we just need a Singer-esque builder for old Volvos. If I had the coin, an old wagon w/ cool new components would be pretty freakin sweet.
I WISH I’D NEVER BEEN BORN!
Look at the drivers side front corner. Bumper/fender/hood all don’t line up properly. Also seems to be missing its lower air dam. I know it says “clean title”, but I doubt it.
Go to your room.
Oddly enough, since we’re talking about odd, this price might work better if the car carried a badge with a little less cachet. But if you’re shopping Jags, a slow crossover–below the top trim level–is probably not on your list. ND.
I’d rather have an Isetta.
It’s a pretty hair shirt, but a hair shirt nonetheless. I don’t need the suffering. No Dice.
The body shell says “BMW” but the innards say “Chevette”. ND.
Hypocorrectical
They did similar with the 1st gen Mirai. I think the fuel savings along with the car rebate made the Mirai basically free for a 3 year lease. Our vendor was pushing us to get them (a lot of us lived in LA and Anaheim which had fueling stations) but they were so fugly that I couldn’t get myself to do it.
Perspective from a San Francisco resident:
There are zero hydrogen stations in San Francisco now, Shell closed them. The closest one is 7 miles south, if that one is broken or out of fuel (very common) the nearest ones are Oakland (12 miles one way and a $6 toll) or across the Golden Gate bridge in Mill Valley (15…
Or, if you are very lucky, the battery cable is corroded under the insulation. Switch it out and you’re good to go. Volvo starters get a bit picky on the wire connections, so that is another place to look.
There’s also the point that this is significantly more beautiful than a mondial...subjective of course. Looks wise, they’re not even in the same league -- and why else would you buy either?
Looking on BaT I am seeing recent sales of much nicer cars in the mid fifties to low 60s. This one is a little scruffy for the price. I love sixties cars, I love Italian cars, but I have always thought the Fiat Dino coupe looks a little off in its proportions. But personal feelings aside, a Craigslist ad for above…
At $50k+ this thing needs to be show room quality for me. As soon as I saw the seats it was clear he’s delusional about getting his money back. They also did the thing where they list 1000 other cars to get more hits, so automatic ND.
Rivian-esque
Are we to assume that this will drive up the value of older Scouts just like what happened to Broncos?
Something isn’t sitting right in that front end. Front spring perches look collapsed.
