Spotted in Westhills the other day. Pretty sweet. Was getting lots of stares and pictures. Anyone know what it is?

yeah doesn't quite look legit to me, but still badass. the rims are 40 years too modern for the car.

there is a guy in Cochrane who had a 1929 Bugatti that looked awesome, but it was a kit car too.

Kit car ... looks dangerous to drive on our roads today, so I'd totally pimp it :D

Looks cool. Looks like the rear quarter panel might be off an older mustang or corvette or something. I recognize the styling but cant put my finger on what car it came off of.

It's an old 70's Buggati or Bugatti (they spell it both ways) kit car based on a VW chassis. Check out the exhaust-the motor is under the bobtail rear end.
Google image search for "Bugatti vw kit".

Ahhhh I see. I was wondering why the exhaust looked so funny. Normally there's some straight pipes running down the side. Cool car still. I wonder how it handles with all that weight on the back?
