It would have been great to bring you the exact make and model but this mystery ride is locked up tight and I don’t need a pissed off owner chasing me down the street with a 12 guage. I did manage to find a piece of the car cover that wasn’t being held down with a brick though – it revealed what appears to be a brand name or race team logo tattooed onto the side sill. Anyone recognize it? Either way, the plexiglass and abundance of scuffs reek of a kit that has seen its share of track time. Thanks to all those who weighed in.
I’m just surprised that the city is allowing it to sit there.
And damnit.. why don’t you just knock on the door and ask?
Sorry, I tried. Nobody was home, grass overgrown and a for sale sign… this was the best I could do without justifying a call to the cops by a nervous retired studio exec.
give me the address.
and how do you justify calling this ‘mystery ride revealed?’
Rob, you certainly have a way about you, but I’m starting to think it’s gonna be a shame when you don’t come back after the reveal. You make me laugh with your comments. That’s why I only teased you with this pic… I’ll keep you here after all. And email me if you really want that addy. I’ll even go with you.
you’ve got mail.
I believe I’ve found it- might even be the same car:

The rights to the Invader GT molds are actually currently owned by an electric car company, along with the old Kelmark molds. Unlike the March Hare, it’s running on a full-length wheelbase and has lots of room for batteries. Personally I think it’s kind of ugly (the shot above is from a flattering angle), but it sure is exotic.
So? Revealed f’real?
not yet but its still on the to do list. NICK when you pick me up to go check this thing out you can take a cell phone pic of my diesel bunny for your BLOG. i been out of town or I already woulda revealed this chariot.
