"Whatever Happened To Hybrids?"

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Whoa, Melvin, whoa. I'm not talking about a Piss-poor-Prius here. I'm talking about cars that were one part European (bodies, etc.) and one part American (powertrain). (Yes, the Allante counts.)

Like, for example...

1960s ISO Grifo:

1963 ISO Rivolta:

1962 Apollo 3500GT:

1968 Bizzarrini GT America:

1968 DeTomaso Mangusta:

1971 DeTomaso Pantera:

1958 Facel Vega HK500:

1964 Gordon-Keeble GT:

1966 Jensen Interceptor III:

More coming in next post.

1967 Monteverdi 375S:

1972 Monteverdi 375L:

1990 Cadillac Allante

Sunbeam Tiger: 289 Ford V8 power in a MG-size British package.

------

Shelby Cobra Roadster (289s are for Pu$$ys, these are 427s)

And one of the ten greatest and most beautiful dream cars of all time:

1968 (Chevrolet 327 powered) Bizzarrini MANTA,

with tandem seating like the later 1993-97 McLaren F1
