My suspicion is that they are a bit optimistic regarding the price.

Well, in fact, all the whole auction is a broad spread of over-enthusiastic optimism.

I seriously doubt that Karl Abarth had anything to do with it.

That rear end kind of looks like a Kelmark GT (or one of the other ubiquitous 70s Dino clones) with the roofline raised about six inches.

I kind of like how it looks from the front. I think it'd actually look all right if it were stretched by maybe 12 inches... and put on 15 inch (matching) rims... and a better rear deck lid... and rear fascia...

Okay, yeah- just start over.

And what a delightfully appropriate color the designers picked for it.
