Is it a prototype or actual make?

Was this car ever featured in a book or magazine?

So i spent most of my free time today desperately looking through foreign types of automobile magazines and I came across a (Im assuming Russian or Ukranian) magazine with the car in question on the front. Heres what I found.

I cant seem to find any place where I can actually download the magazine, but with the power of ‘Add Keyboard > Russian’ I was able to translate the front cover, could you tell me if this gets me anywhere?

Yes, Mr. Melnik was its builder. With that information you should be able to proceed.

I have 2 results after looking over everything. These are my shots in the dark:

Mr. Melnik’s Self Made Sports Car

Khimelkas Design Sports Car

I found Khimelkas while going through the 1st page translated. My only proplem is that it was separated while in translations so like i said. Shot in the dark. If anythings not specific enough or im missing something ill still keep hunting.

After looking through I found something that has to do with ‘NTTM Students’ is that the right direction?

Even now that's it's solved, I still don't understand your hint ! What was ChanceHuncha supposed to spot ?

With me, I’m either too deep into something, or too clueless to realize that the answers right infront of me.

I actually had to show the article I found and the photo to a Ukranian student in my guitar class at my high school and I blatantly asked him, “If there’s anything in there that resembles a car name, tell me.” And he didn’t find anything. Nonetheless, i made an effort with my resources.  :bow:

I’ll try harder on the next ones.  ;D
