That’s the Palatov D2 in the picture. They collaborated with Cascadia Motion on their latest (and first EV) entry for the Pikes Peak hill climb. Palatov, which has been featured previously on Jalopnik, is a fascinating operation.

Low profile, big wheels are the BIGGEST problem I have with resto-mods. Sometimes I am fully on board with the execution, but then 99.9% of the resto-mods I see just have AWFUL wheel/tire set-ups. Sidewalls that thin don’t work with the proportions of these cars.

That’s a cool rend— wait a minute...

CHMSL was mandatory on vehicles sold in the US beginning with model year 1986.

I can tell you that the core of the giant hasn’t changed one iota. They’re doing some nasty things to linux under the hood ATM that will lead to its eventual demise. Seems preposterous, how can Microsoft kill an open source project like Linux? They’re on the Linux Foundation board, giving it MONEY. “But isn’t it… Read more

OH, FOR GOD’S SAKE.

Oh, right! I remember that one. Didn’t it have a single-seat, which could slide out to form a bench? You can kind of see the slats interlocking here.

Sabra GT
