[DeTomaso] Prototype for sale. Again?

Tue Mar 14 16:03:38 EDT 2017

Asa Jay,

I completely agree with you and had noted some of those traits when it appeared in discussion last time. In addition the photo with Alejandro shows that car had wipers and there's a reflection in the glass whereas the 'plug' for sale appears to be solid fiberglass with painted windows.

In some prior photos you could see caster wheels of a dolly underneath that the shell was moved around on, however with these latest photos on Hemmings it does appear the body may be sitting on it's own 4 wheel's with distinct brake rotors and calipers seen behind them.

I would argue its not the exact same car shown in the unveiling.  Note the absence of side-view mirrors on the doors, and how the original had them and appeared to be mechanically hinged at the front.  The recent photos don't show any provisions for a mechanical connection of mirrors.  The parting lines between some panels look tight in the modern photos versus more space on the unveiled version.  It also appears a corner light was installed (passenger side front)  but the modern photo shows a solid piece of bodywork.

Was there more than one of the bodies made?  I'm probably just being too critical.

   Asa Jay,

   I completely agree with you and had noted some of those traits when it
   appeared in discussion last time. In addition the photo with Alejandro
   shows that car had wipers and there's a reflection in the glass whereas
   the 'plug' for sale appears to be solid fiberglass with painted
   windows.

   In some prior photos you could see caster wheels of a dolly underneath
   that the shell was moved around on, however with these latest photos on
   Hemmings it does appear the body may be sitting on it's own 4 wheel's
   with distinct brake rotors and calipers seen behind them.
