    Is it a toy? Is it a spaceship? No, although it looks like it just popped out of the Cartoon Network channel, it is a real car. It was made on the Isle of Man, located between England and Ireland, and was released in 1964. It is not the only one in this class, and surely it was hard to choose the worst one between Trojan 200, Bond Bug, B. M. A. Hazelcar, 1942 Peugeot VLV and many others, but we have chosen Peel as our winner. With it's charming plastic bubble, 183 cm length and 107 cm width, 90 kg weight and an engine which produces 6.5 horsepower and 75 km/h top speed, the Peel is our champion in it's microcar category.

    look I found a REAL car too

    My dad had one back when I was like 10 or 11. There very beautiful cars no doubt. Whoever owns it need to refit the grill though. Looking kinda sloppy.

    Always loved the Chevelles, prefer the 67 SS396 tho.

    What was it Andre 3000 said, "I could give a damn 'bout your car but then I would be
    If it was considered a classic before the drastic change in production
    When cars were metal instead of plastic value"

    ^^ yeah, if it has camber wear like that not only does it probably not hook for shit, im sure it goes through halfshafts like crazy.

    It's not photoshopped.

    I used to have a red 72 Chevelle. Should have kept it.

    its very hard to keep grills and body panels lined up on older big motor/high torque vehicles. my dad is a body man and owns a 70 challenger with a 383 and if he gets on it to hard to many times he has to re-align the front and sometimes the doors.

    Believe I know its hard. but trying to sell it, you'd think he'd atleast try to fit it alittle better before pic's.

    It depends if it has aftermarket sheet metal on it or not whether he could get the fitment better. The repro stuff sometimes isn't the best but unfortunately all thats available. I love my 70 Chevelle and wouldn't dream of getting rid of it. The only year model Chevelles we don't have are 64 & 68. A-body's are great cars!
