This 1980 NAMCO Pony is one of about 17,000 of the Greek-bodied, Citroen 2CV-based cars built largely for export to Africa and the Middle East. A few were sold Stateside, and this example is said to have started out in Southern California. Find it here on Craigslist on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada for $9,300, presumably in CAD(~$7,110 USD today).

From what we can tell, these trucks were steel bodied despite their obvious aesthetic and conceptual similarities to the Citroen-made, FRP-clothed Mehari. Said to be all original except from the front bumper, the seller further claims that it runs very well following a carb rebuild. Power comes from a 602cc, 32 horse, air-cooled flat twin, and suspension seems to have been pulled from the 2CV production line as well. Here’s a brochure image from around the time this example was made.

We think it’d be a blast to drive around on a farm or similar large property, or as an alternative to a Manx style beach cruiser.
