One car springs to mind. You might be surprised to know that Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were good friends, and Ford admired Edison a great deal. Ford built his own electric car in 1913 (pictured above), but in 1914, the two collaborated on a project to build an affordable electric car. It was going to use Edison's own battery technology, but both their car and battery workshops burned down in a fire.

1968 Molzon Concept Corsa GT38 - designed by former General Motors designer William Molzon who wanted to create a sports car that was designed with both the design and engineering in mind from the beginning. The chassis is light, built using one-inch steel tubing. The engine is a race-modified 2.7-liter flat-six tuned to produce 200 horsepower. The body is fiberglass and it was hand-laid by Molzon over a Styrofoam base. The transmission is from a first-generation Porsche 911.

This is 1 of 1 hand built Concept GT38 - This mid-engine air cooled 6 sports car was built from 1963 -1968 and titled in 1970. The car is showing 958 miles and the builder put those miles on himself. Some of the mileage came from a Road Course in Southern California.

This hand built GT38 weighs less than 1,200 pounds and it has 200+ hp @ 6500 RPM, with an air cooled Built Corsa 6-cylinder engine (turned 180 degrees) backed by a Porsche 911 transmission (dated 1965).
I’ve talked to the builder several times and he told me it is fast as a Lotus and handles about the same. He called it, "Scary Fast”

I’m selling this Rare Vintage one of a kind as a Museum Car - it runs and drives nice. Everything works as it should speedometer - horn - lights - signals - wiper - etc...........................

Price: US $58,500.00

Item location: Risingsun, Ohio, United States
