Ebay treasures: Toyota Starlet KP61 V8 racecar


Now this is a real treasure: a Toyota Starlet KP61 Silhouette racecar for only a mere 3999 euro!

As you can see the bugeye Starlet got a lot of plastic surgery: widened (group 5?) fenders, a huge front air dam, an insanely big wing on the hatch and a dogbone Escort grille.

On the side profile you can still make out the cars original silhouette:

So it could very well be a Silhouette Racer! :D

Looking at all the options included, apart from the (way too small) Minilite wheels, I’d say it is a pretty good deal:
– 4.2 V8
– roll cage
– fully adjustable suspension
– AP racing calipers
– Aluminum bucket seat
Now the big question remains: what engine would be hiding under that little bonnet?
