I returned Nicky's battery (used to mobilize the 73 Hornet I
bought from him 'few weeks back) and asked if I could at least
look at the funny dodge thingie.
It's a hardtop. Two doors. Muddy dark green. Dodge "A" chassis
(according to Nicky). Slant 6. Interior partially disassembled
(carefully), many badges say "GHIA" with a crest. Short wheelbase
-- 100"?
Mahogany dash, pushbutton shifter matching pushbutton dodge
heat/vent controls.
Turtle-deck-like rear; simple horizontal tailights, one per
corner, slight wraparound, two screws fasten.
Slab sides, hump front/over rear wheels. No decorations (eg.
stainless strip, etc).
Hood noses towards the ground, ala porsche. Two headlights, thin
horizontal grille, deeply concave, with 11 verticals.
It's all top-notch coachwork. Door panels were off, doors are
entirely fiberglas and solidly constructed in good shape. Electric
windows. Vent windows, operated with a 6? sided knob, about 3"-4"
diam.
I was too close to it in a severely crowded garage to get any
visual perspective to get an overall look.
Nicky says the owner doesn't know anything about it except it's
old, weird, one-off, italian. He thinks it's a "show car" that
escaped the crusher. Whatever.
