It’s Friday so you’re either watching the clock at the office, or if you’re like most Americans, you’ve already called in sick and are at the ball park for an afternoon double header. Well, if it’s the seventh inning stretch you can take a little time and throw out your opinion as to the identity of today’s Mystery Car. This one may not have been a home run, but it still comes up to bat every now and then.
Sure, the above image doesn’t give you a lot to go on but then you all are really good at these, so I don’t think we’ll get many swing and a miss responses. I will tell you that it’s rarer than a Chicago Cubs pennant, and that there’s more to the connection between this car and the MLB than you might think.
Okay, that’s all I’ll say. So, without further ado, get you Google on!

I recognize the chassis.

YABADABADOO!
Looks like a prototype for a new Ukranian Volvo C30 knockoff.
Aw, it just needs a little wash, and it will be good as new.

I forgot to tell you.. I just helped a friend buy an NSX.
Awesome. Is that your friend in the picture?
i wish…
I bet you do. What year/model/miles?
I am a print buyer by profession, and one of our printers has a gorgeous blue NSX. Older gent, only let me look at it.
1995 manual trans, targa roof I believe… about 40k miles. red/tan
Boss. Good job, Jeff. How much, can I ask?
I think it was 43… not sure exactly. Found a nice one in Newport Beach for under 40 but it was a very early example and he wanted a slightly older model.
Looks to be a March Hare.

(facepalm)
You are awesome in a scary way.
I was hoping for scary in an awesome way, but I'll take it. Thanks! I can't claim too much credit for posting a photo of the exact same car, however, since it is the third result for a Google image search on the words 'march hare kit car' which I suppose shouldn't be too surprising in light of a production run which barely made it into the very low double-digits.
You ruined my "early concept of the Tumbler, designed while Bruce Wayne was in highschool shop class"
RUINED.
Yeah, but I saved us all from a string of "Faux-rarri Breadvan" jokes, so how about we call it even?
March Hare.
Ash.
That's one seriously homely car.

oooof.
Well, that should help my diet plan – a quick glance at this and no more appetite.
It's da Ratmobile….where's Ratman and Slobin?
Is it bad that I want to find that poor thing and sacrifice an otherwise perfectly good Beetle to put it back together?
If so, I don't want to be good.
I'd rather have an Invader GT… I found one of these on my local Craigslist a while back (with rear louvers, no less) and tried to talk a friend into buying it.

Amazingly it seems from a comment I happened across that the March Hare may actually predate the Manx SR, so at least the designers were up to date after a fashion. But I guess it wasn't too hard for Meyers to outdo them with his own preposterous racer version of a dune buggy.
its a vw kit car body i dont know the make sorry
So, whats the connection to baseball? And may I suggest using it for a doorstop rather than sacrificing a perfectly good Beetle to make it whole again.
slako , Spelling?
