Fantasy or Hot rod? I'll go with the later. Nice cast but also a potential gold mine for customisers looking to harvest some good bits. Check out the details in the interior and base alone!

I'm not sure about anyone else but I can see a bit of 356 Porsche in this cast. The roof line and glass house area especially as well as a small section of bodywork above the front axle that I believe is the remnants of the bonnet. Another clue is a flat six installed in the correct postition behind the rear axle. I know the 356 never had a production six but this is a Hot rod after all.

Although I didn't get a shot the chin spoiler this one of the new track ready adjustable type. Pretty clever idea although in this cast its not happy staying up. I've heard there is a small blue pill available, I guess it sits under the spoiler to keep it up. ;)

The body starts to tuck in towards the rear as in a 356 as well.

So there it is. A nice Hot rod in its own right or a great collection of useful parts for customs.

Happy weekend everyone!
