Bocar?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #6 on:** October 13, 2008, 04:04:19 AM »

Nope.

Some of our European AutoPuzzles members may consider American-built sports racers to be the nadir of automobiledom. I disagree.

Panhard- based? Devin- Panhard, maybe?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** December 09, 2008, 04:16:34 AM »

No, not based om a Panhard.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #10 on:** December 09, 2008, 11:52:38 AM »

I dunno what it is. But one thing is sure for me: that rear is so GORGEOUS!

BTW, is it a known, still-alive manufacturer?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2008, 12:36:09 PM »

No, the car, and the car model upon which it is based, are long-gone. However, the parent company of the donor car remains in business, building abd selling cars.

Not sure if this is a clue or a statement! But (as a European) I think the USA have built some incredible sports racers, the Cheetah is a particular favourite of mine.

Does the puzzle car have Porsche mechanicals?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2008, 12:49:05 PM »

Sometimes...

Joao Gois · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2008, 01:26:19 PM »

Sometimes??

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** December 09, 2008, 01:52:36 PM »

Yes. Other examples had other horizontally-opposed engines, sourced from other makers.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2008, 05:04:23 AM »

So, if it had some Porsche engines mounted, it's quite possible it could also have VW Bug engines too, assuming it was Bug / 356 based. But I know you'll say it doesn't get me any closer to finding the manufacturer. And you're probably right...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2008, 04:51:42 AM »

It should, you've been pretty accurate so far...

Joao Gois · « **Reply #18 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:07:59 AM »

But although Bug / 356 based, it's still american-built or not?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:24:55 AM »

Yes, American built.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #20 on:** December 16, 2008, 05:14:07 AM »

I'm in a stall...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2008, 07:49:25 AM »

When you're done, flush, wash your hands and get back to it.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #22 on:** December 16, 2008, 10:13:30 AM »

All washed up and ready with another question: was the chassis / frame built by that builder or was it donated, for example, from a 356?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2008, 12:54:03 PM »

It was donated.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** December 16, 2008, 04:17:30 PM »

And the engines used sometimes came from the same kind of car than the donor car, but often came from another brand, and, sometimes, another land.
