Hmmm...seems that Charley couldn't stand keeping his Isetta stock...so....
This is what he ended up with! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif*

Ive seen it pull wheelies on Woodward before, easily I might add.

It did have a 215 aluminum Olds in it at one time. I think he calls it a Rover engine now. Same engine.

Thought the Rover's had Buick engines in them, but hell if I know for sure.
If it's not a Ford, but rather an Olds/Buick... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Kurt .... who is Charley is a good question:) He does have an an Isetta but I think it is a few ponies short of yours.
My father was an Isetta dealer in Detroit back in the day... if you can beleive that , an Isetta dealer in Detroit ? Here is a picture of my father and his ... co-workers . You can see all the Isetta photos/Dealer info on the walls.
Your car looks like a lot of fun !

Looks like it would do a wheelie if you leaned against it! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Wild looking car!

Kurt...Let me explain a little bit here...Charley does indeed have an Isetta (which is stock). Charley also loves modified cars...
Charley has a bunch of cool cars (an LS9 in a 69 Camaro for example called the Jackass). He's also owned the Mule, the Red Witch and a host of other cars that you can see pictures of just by searching on the internet for them...
I was just kidding with him using a picture of your Isetta...which was emailed to me from someone that was at the Detroit show...
If you notice...there is a disclaimer in the first post.
I love the fact that you dared to be different... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
