I've long wanted someone to build and sell a dead-simple car like this today. With modern emissions and safety standards, it might well not be possible.

- ganley 16y agoYeah, I'm familiar with that, and it's very much in the spirit of what I had in mind (though not as much so as the Willys). But note that they lost much of that simplicity in the Europa - the version that meets EU safety and emissions requirements - which ballooned the price from US$2,000 to US$6,000.
