    Looks like a Mazda Roadpacer, if I'm not mistaken.
    They had a dinky little rotary engine that didn't produce enough torque to motivate the car, so you had terrible acceleration, terrible fuel economy, and it'd only break 100MPH downhill with a tailwind.

    That would be a mid-60 Saab, and I am betting it is the 3 cylinder, 2 stroke in the 850 size...so most likely a Saab 96

    Ding ding ding!
    2-stroke...
    The carb used to shut the fuel off for greater economy when you were coasting, so if you had an automatic on a long downhill stretch you had the choice of riding the gas to keep the engine lubricated (which meant red hot brakes at the bottom of the hill) or saving your brakes and risk ruining the motor from lack of lubrication, haha!

    It that a TR-5? I thought they rusted away before your final payment was due!

    Lol, most of them probably did.
    But, that's not a TR-5.


    Edit-
    Hint-I thought it was appropriate as a counterpoint to the Messershmitt car because it was named after a British WWII fighter plane.
