I don't know too much about it. How about you?

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Is it based on a Chevrolet AK truck?

I didn't have the possibility to find out the base, but the only parts I recognized coming from another car weren't Chevy ones.

German home-made car ?

I have seen it at a veteran car meeting in my home town. It is probably a one-off. I have no idea where it was built.

Can it be found online ?

Perhaps, I didn't.

Finding the classic car meeting was not a problem. Now finding the builder - that will be a challenge :)

Perhaps a Mr Bohle

Is it a Boyle Special?

Post by: Wendax on November 15, 2018, 09:32:17 AM

That's what it said on the car, although I rather think that it rather is a replica or "tribute car". Have a try on what it may be based on (at least what I suspect after having a look at the dashboard). Locked for three guesses.

There was no picture of the dashboard where I found the two pictures. I don't even have the slightest idea. Mercedes?

The builder was probably trying to replicate this - a Maserati 8CTF which raced at the Indy 500 as a Boyle Special.

(I'm not suggesting that this car is Maserati-based. Just an observation for the choice of name.)

I think so, too.

Is it based on a truck?

Title: Re: Wendax 2712
Post by: Wendax on November 16, 2018, 02:25:50 AM

The dashboard came from a manufacturer not connected with trucks.

Post by: Wendax on November 16, 2018, 03:59:35 PM

Yes, and that's about all I know of this car.

I think I will give Pal and gte4289 one point each for identifying it.
