			Interesting.  Looks like a VW fastback that has had some modifications in the front.  Those look like sugar scoop headlight to me.  And they added a 911 roofline - those are definitely 911 rear side windows. Here's a regular fastback:    | ||

			Wow, I kinda like it actually, though the front is a little awkward. Needs something to break up the Maytag-ness.

			I wonder were the engine is located. Fastbacks were mid engine, but 911's are rear engine. I would assume it's mid because of the primarily fastback style body shell.

			Looks like they are calling it a 913.

			Doesn't look that bad.  911 roof  is the trick.

			Fastbacks were rear engine cars.   I had the station wagon type 3 with a stout little 1500 cc pancake motor with dual Solex carbs. Cool little car.
