I just came across this on the South Florida Craigslist. What do you think?

For some reason it's not appealing to me as the Elio. Not fully inclosed, non-streamline, it is rear wheel drive , But I'm thinking the front drive of the Elio may handle better ,gas mileage too.

That is amazing. I wonder which one of you gentlemen will be the one to buy it. :-) Z

I like vintage "stuff" but much prefer the Elio in this case. And SAME $$$$$ 
Well if I lived in South Florida, had a spare $7000 ( above what we have for the Elios ) I might have gone and at least taken a look at it. Alas neither is true so I'll just have to wait for my Elios! ( Note to self: I think You maybe entering into a midlife crisis, weight loss, exercising and now looking at vehicles from the 70's. What's up with that?

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Isn't that a Mercedes logo on the front? Maybe he just stuck it on the Honda?
Other observations: I see what looks like storage in the front, would like to see how much space is under that door with the handle. Didn't see any seat belts in it. Wonder how loud the engine is.
No, I don't want to buy it.
The scoop is what caught my attention! That thing is bigger than those on Formula 1 cars! One sudden gust of wind and voila! An open engine compartment getting all the air it needs. For $7k, I don't want or need that kind of problem. Besides, it gets a little nippy here in Denver in the winter.

With the rear bonnet open it looks looks like a "73 suzuki ran into the rear of the keystone cops car. And I'd be afraid I'd pop that chain about once a week.
I can't help but wonder how many miles they have put on that trike
