I just don't get it?
 
What motivates people to make horrible clones of famous cars. I mean...common!!! It seems the more elaborate the original car is, the worse the replica of it looks.

Notice the crooked stereo mounted in that lovely diamondplate :mad:

That pretty much says it all right there......:eek:

But you know there's some kid somewhere saying "damn a ferrari for only $32K? MOM forget college we could make some money on this!" :(

That wind shield looks like the rear shield from a late 50's large window 190 SL hardtop

:D Well, I would love to have a correctly set up General Lee to take to DEs to piss people off:p
And if I could ever find the Speedster my mother owned & raced back in the 50s, I would build a clone to have fun with:D and own both:D

Fiero?

cl8ton 03-20-2008 08:18 PM
I looked hard, but couldn’t see the “22’s” sticker on the rear glass or the 95db speaker system?
Diamond plate…the stuff of champions!

Gogar 03-20-2008 08:21 PM
If it were only a 4-seater, I'd be all over it.

The shifter is what really bumps the price up.

I'm guessing late '50's/early '60's Corvette. Drop in/out as a single unit, with readily available repops.
