A friend sent me this crappy picture to try to ID a car they saw.
For some reason I'm drawing a blank..

Looks like a U-Haul moving truck but I can only see the tail, So I can't be totally sure.

I *think* it's an old Lambo, I don't know what model though.

Isn't that a Maserati emblem on the fender?

Lamborghini Marzal, at least very similar. But it was a concept, how many were made ?

At first I thought old Lambo.
Photobucket derped it. On the original I can zoom in and there is an emblem Red and green stripes with something written in script. Ill see if I can upload a zoomed in version ETA: It's the Ghia logo . Might be a Pantera Mangusta that someone fucked up |

Fiero with a sweet ass lambo body kit?
My first thought was Pantera or Dino. |

Pantera? No fucking idea. Pantera had fender flares and had a ford 5 lug wheel pattern. Well, all I've seen did. So I'm thinking it's not a Pantera. Might be some other type of kit car. Vent window screams Pantera though. ETA I just noticed the thing isn't even strapped down. |

He said the back end had "big brake lights, that were vertically segmented. Above that it looked like the turn signals and back up lights were recessed into the body."
I called him we haven't spoken in a while just talk in texts but this is bugging me. |

Were they Bradleys? Jennings? Sterling? |

Lambo Espada?

Not a Pantera - Rake on the vent window segment is too extreme.
Not an Espirit - Side marker is on the wrong place, wrong size wheels and bonnet is too long. |

I think it's a Mangusta. It would have to be a pretty early one not to have flared fenders.

Considering the Ghia badge, I'm 99% sure it's some kind of concept car that was sold to another company to use as their own.
Looks like it was DeTomaso in this instance. |

Should have asked the UHaul driver. He probably wouldn't mind.
I once had a guy come upto me at a Big 5 (sporting good store) and ask me what kind of car I had. He said he had followed me about 3 miles to find out!  Kinda creepy
I was waiting for my turn to get onto the freeway onramp - some guy stopped next to me in some van (his lane to go keep going straight was clear) and stopped traffic in that lane for about 4 min to ask me what kind of car, and if was "faster than a stock ctsv" and other stupid ass random questions. People in his lane were honking and everything. People do weird shit for to find out a type of car
Car was a debadged Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 in Maroon red. |
