What the name of this car? And what is special about it?
Colorful!
Yes, I was tired of posting b+w pics...
maybe one of the experts likes to solve this flamboyant car!
Darrell Vittone's VW powered Fiat 850 Spider
Darrell Drag raced the EmpiĀ "Inch Pincher" and "Inch Pincher Too " VW Bugs before this one, and made the switch to the Fiat for better aerodynamics.
It was fitted with a aftermarket fiberglass hardtop to make it legal for H/Gas, and it ran 10.3 at 130MPH 1/4 mile times.
Paint was by George Cerney from Norco California.
I have one article where its called "Hybrid Hauler".

What can I say? It's your special subject! :)
Definitely I've done something worthy joining your community. One day and I've already found a new car I didn't know and that is very interesting for the book I'm working on.
Has anybody a magazine feature to send me or any higher-res picutre?
Thanks,
Alessandro.

Thank you very much! :)
In this case let's make it up to the end ::) I don't think this reveals a valuable source for future puzzles, so here we go:
