It's a Sterling. Made by long since defunct California Component Cars. I had one in the early 80's, back before I became too embarrassed to be seen in something like that. No doors, the entire top goes up on hydraulics. Here's mine before I sold it to a guy in Nor Cal back around 1984. For all I know it's the same car...

Huh. I'm surprised to learn they can still be bought. I dunno about these days but they used to be all show and no go. There's a VW Bug chassis under that thing. It was fun to drive because it was so light but a nightmare to work on. A real head turner though. IIRC I paid 3K and sold it for 5K two years later after putting a bunch of work into it. Haven't seen one since. Thanks for the memories ;)

sterling is still around...

looks pretty neat, drop an STI motor in it (which bolts up with the stuff they can get for it), and have a blast...

they also have a mid engine tube frame chassis option now...
