Carey bought a 356 preA coupe FG kit car off of me to use as the plug for their 356 coupe.
I don't see it on their website, but I know they have it.

Some company up here used to make them up here but went bankrupt. I've heard only 5 were built.
The build quality was pretty crappy, Carey said it would need a lot of work, but figured it would save them over 2000 hours on the construction of the plug.

Link below is the car he bought to use for a plug. A "plug" is the part used to make the molds.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
