Tell me what you know of this machine. If it coincides with what I have on it, you will earn a point.

Any connection to Lotec?

I am not sure, I dont think so.

Looks like an episode from "Storage Wars". Must be US.

[ValkyrieGT]

It is in the USA. Storage wars? No.

I found another image of the car, but still no information. It was listed as a 'Car Mod Atrocity,' but I'm not sure if there is truth to that.

"Up for auction is my one of a kind car!  I do not believe it was ever produced in kit car form.  I'm not going to say a whole lot about the car because I believe the pictures speak for themselves.  If I have missed something please feel free to ask.

The Center section is Fiero.  Pretty much everything else is custom.  It is all fiberglass.  There are no major cracks or damage to the body.  The body work is very good and straight.  It is painted in white pearlescent paint and shines nicely.  The dash is totally custom.  It has a digital dash pod.  The stereo is pretty crazy.  It has your typical Am/Fm Cd player which is connected to a TV screen.  There are 2 large amps behind the seats along with a bunch of electronics in the ceiling and left side of the dash.  I am not sure what it all does.  All of the doors, hood and trunk have electronic door poppers on them.  I have not been able to figure them out.
The front suspension is Fiero and the rear is Chevy Corvette.  It is mated up to a small block 350.  I am not for certain if the engine is built up or not.  It feels real strong.  Rims are Weld Racing.  They are very wide.  Tires on the front are 285 40 15 and the rears are 345 35 15s. Front tires have lots of tread life left.  Rears are kinda skimpy. The starts and runs well.  However it has not been drive much at all in the last few years. The last time I drove the car there was a shimmy in the steering wheel.  I would suggest that all fluids be changed.  Your choice, just a suggestion.  I would also recommend that the car be transported back to where ever you live.  ONLY because it has been in storage for some time.  This is your chance to own something very cool and one of a kind!"

"This car appeared 18 years ago at a local car show in chicago.
Engine is a chevy 350 longitudinal mounted with a trans direct bolted to the rear end.
There were actually 2 cars built by 2 brothers. Both were watch makers from the Chicago area. They did everything with foam and joint compound, then took a mold of that, then hand laid fiberglass to make the body."

I wonder if the word inside the car is the name given to this car...something like 'image'.

Nice to learn more about this machine(s). Thanks Paul Jaray.
