Ok, put on your thinking caps
What is this ? Fiero Kit car ? Saw this in a little roadside "museum" today.

Look like an old Fiberfab creation to me..but don't hold this as gospel

I thought possibly a fiero kit car based upon the dash. I didn't get close to it. My wife took the pics. She thought it was cool.

To me, it looks like the wheelbase above looks too long compared to a Fiero.

You need to go back there right now and get more pics!
I don't know much about kit car brands. This looks like someone took the time to stretch a wheelbase. From what I see, there's plenty of room for an engine under the rear window area panel(engine cover?), or... plenty of room for a VW engine in the rear trunk with the air inlets. Go back there now!!!

Shame that Electra has enough doors for two cars, as that's a pretty cool old beast.

I am very curious about this one. Zooming in on the photo, I think I see a steering wheel on the left-hand side. But, what's the deal with the passenger-side dash.

I'm betting it's a center mounted homemade dash because of the low steering column angle needed to make the thing work.

Paul nailed it right off the bat. This is a Fiberfab Aztec GT

Wow! Interesting variation with the upward swinging door canopy vs. regular (allbeit collapsing and illfitting) doors. Personally, Id take the regular doors and a disc grinder.
Cool find!  edit- I would so redo that front end with more of a 904 type lighting arrangement. I do love the rear as is. |

That's not terrible....most kit cars are ugly.

Certainly Fiverfab made better looking stuff than Kelmark and dune buggy-like Bradley.

Yes, a fiberfab Aztec GT. It is not a cheetah.
