Is Italy involved?

There was an Italian connection when the project started.

Very interisting puzzle. AMX related?

Otto Puzzell · July 18, 2012, 04:04:37 AM

No connection to the AMX that I'm aware of.

Another Russian home-built car?

Otto Puzzell · July 18, 2012, 04:42:17 AM

Not a home-built car

Wendax · July 18, 2012, 04:54:12 AM

But Russian?

Otto Puzzell · July 18, 2012, 05:23:24 AM

Not Russian

I'm going to eschew further geography-based Q&A for the time being. That way, I won't have to read a certain person's text "I was searching on another forum about cars from <location>, and stumbled across this one".

That doesn't make it easier.. $:-\$

OK - it looks like that guy is not online right now, so I'll allow geographic guessing again, for now.

jotage21 · July 19, 2012, 11:00:48 AM

France?

Wendax · July 19, 2012, 11:14:49 AM

The side lights make me think American.

Allemano · July 19, 2012, 11:19:50 AM

Known make?

The lights could be American parts, but I don't know for sure.

Otto Puzzell · July 19, 2012, 12:39:33 PM

Yes, from another make.

Allemano · July 19, 2012, 12:40:11 PM

US V8?

Otto Puzzell · July 19, 2012, 12:40:40 PM
