Local Motors holds contests for car designs, winners get money, and if they can secure orders for 500 of them they build a micro-factory where you can spend 6 days building your own car.

This concepts interests me. The current car, The Rally Fighter, is cool, but not my type of ride.

I’d be interested in building a custom designed small, affordable Carerra or TT type sports car – only with a useable storage space/trunk.

kitcars.com has a zillion kit cars that are basically new frames dropped onto existing car’s chassis.  But that isn’t quite the same… I’d like to design my own, just for me, and make it.

    In the photos, note the authentic, lightly-worn, Firestone NON SKID tires the Clampett’s truck wears, as if still in use from the 1920s.
