"There is great sentimental value attached to this project as one man's dreams' usually are."

Personally, I think this project must have been a drug induced psychotic episode.

I couldn't imagine any good reason to continue such a project. I don't even see many good parts there. And 5 people have bid.

I actually like the rear end of it. If it was actually done right, I think that it would look pretty neat.

Nothing but junk, and the frame is worthless....been shortened....if not for that, maybe worth the current bid just for the chassis and suspension pieces.

On one of the Speed Channel shows they end it by saying
"Don't Crush it Restore it" Well that don't apply here. Sorta looks like a '71 Opel Gt wannabe. One acronym POS.

Fiberfab made really cool kit cars in their day. Not some wimpy vw powered stuff, most were made for v8 power. The Jamaican was their highest volume kit, followed closely by the Aztec 7/ The Caribee (what this poor specimen began life as) was fairly rare..

I always like the Aztec 7..



The actual, unmolested Caribee was a really cool kit car.
