Ghia Barchetta based on a Ford Fiesta XR2 1983


So many "What if..." cars out there that could have really changed the way things turned out. Take this Ghia Barchetta based on a Ford Fiesta XR2 platform. It predates the Miata for quite some time, and Ford might just have been started a new roadster renaissance rather than Mazda! The front end looks quite sleek I think, although the rear end is definitively a product of 80s styling. Its always hard to tell by pictures how large a car is but unless the guys standing next to this one was 6' 6" it does look quite tiny, the windshield top is barely higher than his waist! That mighty have been its downfall had it ever seen production...but who knows, maybe not.

Roadster with Viper V-10



Viper engined Roadster circa 1994. Don’t have any info on this car. Saw it when I was living in Rochester NY and the One Lap of America people had their finishing party there. They gathered all the cars that finished downtown, which of course brought out all the local hot rodders, and I snapped this shot.

If I remember right this was supposed to be a limited production car. Anybody have any idea what it is?
