Mystery Car... ("58 - 166 MPG" streamlined Geo Metro)
 
.

Does anybody here have any info. on this car ???


About a year ago I came across this car on youtube and figured the owner is probably a member here or at the very least, a visitor of this site.

Then the other day while cruising the web, I came across this updated, extensively modified version. :cool:

Going by information from the forum the pictures were posted on, the car is located somewhere in Northern California.

(the pictures were posted 9/19/14)

That is what I want to do :thumbup: seriously fine aluminum work. Most of the compound curves are fairly easy to shape when you understand the technique. Is it a Metro?

Same car, back in the day on EM.

The narrator is an idiot.

166 mpg. Gotta wonder what drivetrain mods are under the hood.

Anybody seen it in real life? I'd love to see that guy here on the forum.

Good thing I kept scrolling - we've seen that video before, but not those new pics!

Just noticed the small writing on the end of the decklid:

Based on the surrounding scenery, NorCal seems possible to likely. Never ran across the car though!

He should do the Vetter Run- cages are welcome too.
