    Hmmm, I think the opposite, the 3P has a rather heavy look in the back caused by the third door/hatch and those fussy triple rear lights don't help.

    OTOH the hatch much improves the utility of the little car.

    3P=tre posti(3 doors)

    Ah well, to each his own. I remember sitting in one as a child. The back seat was too cramped and dark even for an eight year old.

    Still, a lovely little car, full of character and spirit and unfortunately cheap Russian steel, just like Lancias of the day. Can't be many of them left.

    '74 Pontiac Grand Am?

    That's exactly right.

    I'm seeing the "ad photo" Andy.

    I'm not. I get a black box declaring, " Bring a trailer. com."

    Ya, that's the "ad" I was referring to. I'll take it down since it's beyond the edit window time.

    Please try again Andy.

    Good guess but sorry, no.

    How about a '72ish Iso Rivolta Lele, styled by Gandini? Those 'eyelids' reminded me of the Montreal, and the trail began there...
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,675
    Good job Tex, it is indeed a 1972 Iso Rivolta Lele

    That's right Bumpy, it's a Datsun PL520 Pickup, sold in the US as the Datsun 1200.

    It shared sheet metal and probably mechanicals with the Bluebird 310..

    Some sort of a Nissan Primera mid 90s?

    No, but you're in the neighborhood.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Something about the C-pillar says "Daihatsu" to me, but I can't think of a specific model.

    1967 Plymouth Barracuda (looks like a '68 but I don't see any side marker lights).
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    But I can tell you that the tires are 2X4 Redwood All Weather

    Good eye, Grafer, it is a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda

    That's a good one Shiftright! I have just gone thru a bunch of NSU and Zaporozhets
    pictures and can't find a match. It's definitely rear-engine based on that big intake over the rear wheel.

    Maybe it's a cheapo Communist copy of a Renault 8 like this Dacia>

    Actually it looks like a '70s Skoda 1100 to me.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,576
    Yeah I think it's a Skoda.

    What's with those tires?
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Ah you know, hard times in those commie countries I guess. But the Dutch wore wooden shoes, so......

    Oh, those American cars are so "plasticky".
  • stephen987stephen987 Member Posts: 1,994
    and not just that--look at the panel gaps!!!

    Aw, look----a tiny tiny pair of handcuffs!

    I found a spoiler link for it.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Maybe a different angle and a gaudy paint job will help?

  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Ah, maybe from Albania...that figures. Good research, bump! I used to enjoy spreading the rumor that old MG engines were made of wood--but tended to overheat.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    At first glance I thought it had regular tires with one of those fabric-style covers for snow driving.

    That's actually lumber! :D
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Oh my...

    The rear hatch reminds me of the Fuego from the 80s, would it be a Renault of some sort?
  • boomchekboomchek Member Posts: 5,516
    The taxi looks like an Opel or Vauxhall of some sorts from the 90s. Looks like it's delivering tires for that Skoda :P

    I was thinking Holden.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Our mystery buggy is the early-'90s N14 Nissan Pulsar.
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    I don't know WTH it is, except that the custom bodywork wasn't too good.

    Yeah, I was thinking Opel.

    TR-7

    a truly fine automobile, by anyones standards. I mean, look at the fitment of the passenger side door! Just remember to quadruple your head gasket.

    I almost bought one of these about 10 years back. IIRC, it was a 1980 Spyder model (trim package, in snazzy black). Actually in real nice shape, and drove well.

    Probably a reason though that the owner was only asking about $2,500 (maybe 2K).

    2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.

  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    Yup, it's a TR-7. This one is a 1980 model.

    My brother wanted one of these really bad when he was a kid and I remember him having an ad for it taped to the wall of our bedroom.

    1957 Cadillac, maybe a Coupe de Ville.
