Why make your own boat tail...

...when you can buy one?

97 Geo Prism

Quote:

For sale is a modified 97 5 speed geo prism. This car is modified to get 50 mpg on the highway. I built it myself of fiberglass and foam. It's a very practical daily driver for highway people. It has around 200,000 on the body but the motor has less as it was replaced 2 years ago. No power steering or ac. It was meant strictly for gas mileage. Very smooth clutch and engine runs great. Asking $1900 give me a call or text

Wow! Nice find.

I copied the text and the image into post #1 for posterity. (It all goes poof when the ad is removed.)

But no wheel covers and honkin' front mudflaps? Not an Ecomodder member! :D

Someone ask what his revs at 60 MPH are. Unless he is using bigger than stock tires, I think he is spinning something like 2660rpm at 60 MPH.
Attached the additional pictures on the CL post.

wdb: out of curiosity, how did you stumble across the ad? Was it posted in another forum/site?

I saw it in the "Things that make you say WTF" thread on tacomaworld.com. I am not making this up. :p

This is an easy 65 MPG car on the highway with some subtle mods.

I would almost buy the thing just as a joke for my wife but way to far away.
