Looking for a unique convertible? Have I got the car for you!

I just happened to be browsing cars on Ebay and I think I found something truly one of a kind. It’s a 1984 Dodge Colt. Not just any Dodge Colt, this bad boy even has the 1.6l turbo engine! It’s a one owner car with a clear history as well. Of course, this isn’t exactly a collector’s car but summer is here and it is a convertible.
Oh, there’s one more thing; it’s been converted to a bumper car. Yes, a street legal bumper car.
I am sure this would make a great promotional piece for an amusement park to something but the auction recently ended at $2,938 without the reserve being met.
It is located in Utah and still for sale, although the auction has not been relisted yet. Here is the official word from the owner:
“This vehicle is in great shape. It has a new timing belt, water pump and idler pulleys, new a/c compressor and hoses – A/C blows cold. Has two new front tires, $1500 stereo. Weather cover included. Eight speed dual range sport economy transmission has been rebuilt (4 gears for power, 4 for economy). Great gas mileage – approx. 34 MPG.
Everything works on this car. The body is custom one piece fiberglass. Paint is really shiny but does have fiberglass cracks, see photos. Have all original factory workshop manuals and also original glove box handbook that comes with car. Motor has slight oil leak due to age, two or three drops only overnight. Has no catalytic converter. One can be installed if required.
This one-of-a-kind “bumper car” is a real head turner, can't drive anywhere without people staring. Lots of fun wherever you go! See photos following this description.”
