Just arrived yesterday afternoon, courtesy of Fifty50Plus delivery service.

Very, very interesting car. Has a stack of papers, brief review indicates fresh motor rebuild in 2002, including 87mm Venolia pistons. As seen in photo above, includes an Electromotive crank-triggered ignition system, along with Weber 40DCOE carbs and Bursch headers. The car has a very wicked sound to it, although I haven't yet driven it on the street (not yet insured, registered, or titled).

Also has an insane audio system. Interior is black and in pretty decent condition.

This car has changed hands at least 4 times up in Vermont since 1992, with some records indicating that it originated in CA. It came up for sale two years ago, but I wasn't able pursue it at that time because we had just moved to IL. When it came back up a couple of weeks ago, I jumped on it. This is only the third example of a Poli-form Automotion car I've ever seen, so very pleased to add it to our collection.

That is definitely one of the nicer kits I have seen for these. I am just a sucker for wheels flares a la 80's period stuff. Too bad it's on an N/A chassis....

The kit is very interesting. At first glance it looks like a 944, but the arches are actually quite different, especially at the rear quarter window / body line. Rear wheel opening is significantly different contour. The extraction vent on front fenders is dead sexy (IMO).

As for the NA chassis, I don't see that as a liability. I now have 2 complete Windblown systems and 4 complete BAE systems. So if I can't get what I want out of the Weber'd setup that it came with, I'll just build another hot motor and drop it in

I'm with you on that vent. They followed the cars natural body lines beautifully.
