Real and faux

Complicated buggers, aren't they?

Side by side they look amazingly similar... once you get pass the missing hard top.

There are some subtle clues, but if you look close you can tell that Erwin Komenda was no longer alive when the 959 was designed.

I've only seen one completed car that I thought looked really good. I wouldn't own or drive it but I thought it was well done.

It looks closer to a real one than I thought.

I still wouldn't want one.

I happened to see a real one, just parked on the street, many years ago. Several car magazines are or have been based here. That might have been why.

Car and Driver was (is?). Automobile? Road and Track (?)

All 3 were here. Automobile is defunct.  I wonder if R&T still exists.  I supposedly have a subscription but can't remember when I got an issue.  Autoweek was nearby in Detroit.

I think C&D is still here.

359 now reduced to $4500!

Yeah. You should buy it and put it in your pole barn, along with the other car nobody will ever see.

Baker Barn Inventory -

~1980 Dolphin Mod-T Shriner 4 seat dune buggy

~1988 1957 CMC Speedster (black gel coat) - 3 sets of seats (Red/Blk/tan)

~1973 MacGregor 17' Venture sailboat w/ 4.5 Merc

~2006 Seadoo Sportster 15' jet boat (they made a twin engine Speedster!)

~1975 914 1.8L and 2.0L engines plus 2 late VW transaxles and 2 engines

3+ Sears Craftsman lawn tractors (one runs)

When I'm gone hope kids will invite DrClock down to clear my estate!  If I add the 359 I might be able to Mike, Frank and Daniell back to pick the site!    Mike will be after the couple old Schwinn bikes!

Here's winking at ya.

That's not fair!  Your pole barn has more toys than my pole barn!

Well, maybe we're close to even: Two Jensen Healeys, One Plymouth Duster, One Speedster Replica, Two Kabotas, and Two John Deeres (although the John Deers are belly mowers).

All of yours are probably completed and running.
