Bleach Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It looks like some sort of sports car that had either lots of plastic or fiberglass trim and there was some sort of cover over the louvered area. There's a steering wheel and wiper visible on the left side so it is a photo of the front.I wish there was more of this car in the photo for more clues. I know what it isn't.

keiser31 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The raised seam on the fender top should be a big clue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Could the hood (?) be on backwards. The louver openings are facing forward, assuming that the steering wheel is in the original location.Grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer3 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think it's the rear end sheet metal of a car covering the front end of either the same car or another. It looks like the hood substructure is there, (the formed channels that make the triangle visible in front of the steering wheel, we always remove this for the hoods of stock cars for weight), but it doesn't look like it belongs to the sheetmetal near it. So I think it is the back of a car on top of the front of the car.Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 ^X2I was thinking the same thing too but didn't feel like typing that. The crease also looks very familiar to me. I know I've seen what this car really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 That section is way wider than the cockpit so I don't think it belongs. It also might not be automotive.. I don't think those louvers would be functional even in the back of a car and theres no trunklid. Those big pinchweld joints would be out of sight.

ragtop4two Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 although I think it's highly unlikely one, I think it resembles the 1972 pantera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't think those louvers would be functional even in the back of a car and theres no trunklid.Sounds to me like you're describing a rear engined car. This ain't it, but whatever that hood came from (I think) looked something like this Fiat 850 Spider:I also think that the hood is lying upside down on something that might not be the same car it came off of.

Landman Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Or maybe the hood of a Corvair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Not a Corvair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I meant to say practical instead of functional. That Fiat has an opening lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
