What replica would you build..... if you ever did?

[Geronimo]

Just wondering, I have a crazy itch for a Countach... well every car really. Just wondered what other replicas people have fancied.

I love the RCR 917, XJ12, and the D-type GT40 would be cool too. Saw some very well done 330 P4, with Ferrari drivetrains... $$$$

A company is working on a Countach reproduction, the panels (all metal so far) can act as replacement for original cars a testament to the accuracy. The chassis is pretty sick bit of kit as well... far from the day of Fiero rebodies.

I'm going to need to do a lot of freelance to keep up with my want list.

I would charge them for my lancing....a LOT .

I'm thinking about building a Lotus Seven with a Lexus 3UZFE alloy v8. One thing that I've learned is that weight of the car really matters. That and tires cost a ton of money. Light cars don't eat up tires.

Ford GT 40 MKII with an FE block 427. I think Superformance makes them.

Same here but I would prefer to build an alloy body version rather than fibreglass.

It would be a coin flip between a Cobra and a 550 Spyder .

...and in this color.

I want an old jeep with a v6. I think new steel tubs are available?

Oh shoot.
I think it moved!
Had a '62 S90 that color.
Those were the days.

Good call.

I love a lot of the replicas especially those from ERA replicars. However, today I'd want to build a Caterham CSR. Tomorrow, maybe something else (do "tributes" count?)




but a CSR today in no small part because I might be able to finish it in time to enjoy driving it.

That little black car Angela has, 550 with a flat six, or a Beck Carrera GTS, or whatever they call their 904

Those Lotus 7 knockoffs are truly astonishing. There is a kit that uses a Subie drivetrain, turns it into a mid-rear 2WD setup, can't remember who makes it, but that would be very not bad too.

Interesting question. It would be really tough to choose. I guess my top 3 would be a GT40, a 550 or a Caterham 7.

If we were day dreaming, maybe use the motor out of a modern mustang (the flat-plane crank motor) for the GT40. One of those cool flat-4s that's based on a flat 6 for the 550.

If there's a good 917, that would be really cool too. For that probably just a really great flat 6 of some description.

I was always kinda partial to the GS90, even tho it was just a Vette...

^This. But I would put a supercharged Coyote plant in mine.

Beck 904 with a mild 911 engine. Beck can build it. I don't care who builds it. That's what I want.
