It was a Bricklin SV-1. Originally powered by an AMC 360 V-8, but
switched to Ford 351 power in 1975. Produced in Canada in 1974-76. Had
gullwing doors. It wasn't as much of a sports car as a safety car ,
hence the name SV-1 for Safety Vehicle 1. After the Brickiln's demise,
it's creator, Malcolm Bricklin, went on to fame as the importer of the
Yugo. :-)

LOL! A
friend of mine had a Ford Pantera and felt the same way about
it. He said it was the roughest, most uncomfortable, noisest, hard to work
on car that he'd ever driven.

One of my neighbors is the president of the Pantera Owners club, is the
original owner of his Pantera, and its his daily driven car. It goes 0-60
in a hair over 4 seconds, and blows just about anything factory off the
road. Yeah it is rough and noisey, but my only complaint is leg and head
room.
What was the name of the 70's era plastic car? (no not a vette) It looked
kind of like a bigger Delorean, and lasted not as long on the market.
