What car is this?

[Denly]

Found this in a hazardous garage a few months back, I considered myself pay attentions to cars but I have no idea what this was.

I'm thinking it's a kit car of some kind. Typically you buy a plastic body and use VW parts.

That's what I would guess too.

Also this, I just assume - hope - it was not the real thing.

It's a Kelmark GT depending on the engine, it could be worth a good amount. engines ranged from a VW, corvair, olds V8s, a mazda rotary, or air cooled porsche.

it may be a home built or built in the factory in Michigan in the early to mid 70's

always liked them, unique and strange. one of the best "kit" cars from the last 50 years.

Sad to see those rotting in junk yard.

The front clip on that Kelmark definitely has some VW/Porsche aesthetic to it...just stretched and less rounded compared to a 911.

 

[herm0016]

that GT is not real, the dash and steering column are totally wrong.

the kelmark was actually after the Ferrari Dino 246

do you know if that one is for sale? should be easy to import as its old. or contact?

What that mean?

Was an estate sale, basically they just want to get rid of everything. I am pretty sure if you able to get it out it is free.

The house was sold a month or so ago, if you are very super serious and/or there are serious $ to be had I guess I can try to contact the agent?

IMO, there is not serious money to be made. They look worthless.

A pristine example going for $20K when this needs $40K to get into that condition is not a recipe for making money.
