Consulier GTP Across the Street

Ugly. Though, it would be fun to drive to car shows. Should get decent gas millage with the four cylinder. What is that round thing right below the license plate?

Looks like the convertible Bob Taylor is driving in California? This was one of a very few ‘targa’ versions with a removable top.

Im pretty sure this car came out well before the F40, and Mosler wouldnt copy anything

This car separates the car nerds from the REAL car nerds. It used to blow everything away in the late 80’s and look terrible doing it. I wanted, and want one, sooooo bad.

That thing should be driven straight into a Museum!!!

….no no, LITERALLY, drive it full speed right into the side of a Museum and light whatever’s left on fire.

Also, *REALLY* lousy job copying the Ferrari F-40’s front end

I want one…

Ooooooooh. Rare. Rare and ugly.

Well, they’re probably driven there.

how do these cars keep “coming across the street from hq”

Wow, that’s hideous. Looks like the bastard child of a square 917, RX-7, Subaru Brat, late ’80s Camaro, and a Chaparral 2J. In that marriage, the ugly Mazda and Camaro genes have overwhelmed the good looking cars.

nope – can’t explain it, but I have always loved these.
I saw my first one back in the mid ’80s at Lime Rock when they had a booth set up trying to get people to buy the things. Then they went out on the track and blew everything away. They used to have a challenge against any street legal production car, and if I remember correctly they always won. Back in ‘89 or ‘90 when I was doing some Skip Barber racing I was at the track late one night and a couple of the mechanics were taking the racecar out on the road to break in the motor… or some such nonsense (you don’t actually break in a race motor, but these were based on turbo charged K-car motors, so maybe you do?).

I heard once that Warren Mosler actually owned all the production cars and that he leased the right to drive them and that very few were in private hands. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, just what I heard once.

I think people are just coming near hq to be in the blog.

hell i love it – i am way down with using a supercar as a daily
is that a supertrapp in the middle?

It really is startling how ugly these things are, and it doesn’t even have the split windscreen.

Not what I’d ever call a beautiful car.

However it’s a sporting track tool that’s street legal.
This one looks like it’s been driven! Like really driven, not just garaged.
So much so it needs a new paint job, and possibly other work.
It’s nice to see a car like this get driven, and not just garaged.
