Ghastly.  Absolutely ghastly.  I think I could get a good horror story out of this one...

Actually I'd say those are bullet holes and not from a shotgun.  I'm wondering what the first word is on the trunk?  I can see the words "Rotary Gas"  :o

At any rate, Cool story and Video  8)

IIRC, I posted a thread on this GT350 in the 1.0 SAAC Forum, but it is now lost.  I can't remember the SAI VIN, if anyone has it handy.  I think at the time, before this video was made, the story was the wife shot up the car.  (That should scare us all.)  Now we know it was used for target practice.  I'd love to see CJ do a photo shoot in an old barn and make a poster.  I also wonder if there are any vintage pictures of it running down the strip.  The rust looks pretty sever. Not sure how much of the original car would be left if repaired.  I kind of like it the way it is sitting now.  I'd recommend to the owner of CJ to have been collecting original parts for the car over the last 20 years.

Thanks for sharing again.

A similar car was sent to a shop in the Philippines for restorations. I wonder what happened to it?

They can't restore it now. They'd lose CSs signatures. As a business exercise CJ Pony Parts should build a clone and show both cars together showing what's possible with their products.

Ha, you mean no panels fitting, wrong parts shipped to themselves, defective bumpers and charge back for return shipping??? Order 10 parts and 3 come and the rest on backorder?

They would never get it done!

LOL
