    Mystery Car

    Just joined this site and it looks pretty cool.
    I have a Mystery Car that I am trying to identify. It was found in a field in Argentina a few years ago and finally made it to my drive way here in Southern California. It actually resembles the Aston Martoin DBR-1.
    I'd appreciate any help. Here's a picture.
    Thanks.

    That is a beautiful looking car. It's quite a find whatever it is. Could we get any more pics? Does it have a VIN # anywhere?

    The design looks italian to me, but I'm not able to say what it is.

    It has very nice lines to it, I would place my bet on maybe a DB1 kit. If you wanted to restore it would sure be alota work, it's in rough condition.

    Mystery Car "Solved?? sorta"

    Hi folks,
    I want to thank all you guys for the feedback.
    After burning several midnight barrels of oil, I think I'm pretty close to solving the mystery. Attached is a document I came across on an Argentine website, I had to translate it to english so the text is a bit screwy in spots.
    Anyone interested, read about the birth of the Mystery Car.
