Okay so not really a 100% kit car these things do have their roots firmly in the tradition.
I recall the heading on the old Magazine ads was something like “Whether your blasting through the boondocks or turning heads on the boulevard…”
The Vandetta could be put together in a day or two with pretty much normal hand tools,
This example is one of the nicest I have seen in 20 years and has the added 40 look front end, while he says it has “custom” side pipes I recall JC Whitney selling Air cooled VW side pipes, crazy things left the engine took a hairpin bend then up the side then in to the side pipe, they were different on a rear engine car.
He says “trades” I wonder would he would want my wifes PT Looser?…I doubt it.
I love the Vandetta, but I love my PT Looser more :)
For as long as I can remember being into cars I have heard people use fruit to describe them.
“This Mustang is Cherry”
“The paint is nice but has some Orange peel”
“The interior is Mint” ( Okay, not fruit but a plant )
And
“What a Lemon”
I never put anything into the whole idea that a car could be a lemon, I mean one car of a make and model has far more issues than the next???
But after this 04 turbo PT Looser of my wife’s I do believe that a car can be a Lemon but I do keep trying to make Lemon aid,
I will have the PT a spell longer while I save up for the Street rod.
