1985 Autonique Stiletto

This just in from Nessa; thanks!

This is a vehicle that I've pursued for many years, trying to determine if they'd actually produced any and if so how many. To my best recollection, there's been no proof that I've found that any were actually made and sold to the public. Offered as a kit for Pinto owners, I knew this would interest you K2 because there have never been many station wagon kit cars offered. Here's one, even if it probably never got past the prototype stage. I know how much you love one-offs!

  1. I don't know if this link will work, but if so, it is the brochure for the Stiletto.

  2. Here is some evidence that at least some of these kits "escaped into the wild".

    The kit could be added to either a Pinto sedan or a wagon.

  3. OK, just one more, then I will go an try to accomplish something useful today:

    Be sure to scroll to the bottom, where you will find what can best be described as a "Pinto Superbird". Just wild!

  4. Nice one Nessa! And excellent additions Bobinott. Believe it or not, I've seen the coupe lift back in the flesh. Or would that be fiberglass. But I never even knew there was a wagon variant! Thanks, Nessa.
