Dear lord someone please kill this owner, steal the car and put it out of its misery by driving it into a ravine.

That would make a hilarious beater car for $450. I'd buy that in a heartbeat! I'd probably even track it!

How many tailpipes, exactly, did the F40 have? 1? 4? 8? I think 8. So does the "builder" of that kit car.

Actually, if it had the right wheels and tires mounted it wouldn't look all that bad, from 50 feet away...

I dunno, it looks more interesting to me than, say, a Fiero. Needs some detail work and a Northstar swap, but it could be a fun end result.

Might be fun to try and sneak it into a Ferrari owners club meeting. Park it beside the real deal, pop the hood and walk away.

I'm with neon4891. It would be a very cool beater in primer. Flat black!

It would be real funny overtaking that on the freeway, "hey mom I just beat a turboed ferrari." I dig that thing only because that is a close as I'd ever come to owning an F40.
I read about the italians making knock offs, they are funny. They were built with a mixed bag of real and fake parts. I saw a picture of one that looked good. 4500$ probably wouldn't get you the rims off an F40.
I have a good eye and have never seen an F40 so that is about as close as I'd come to seeing one. The exhaust is really stupid looking, loose 4 of those exhausts.

It would be the greatest LeMons racer in history. It would be downright epic to see that thing on track next to $500 Escorts and Neons.

I think my favorite part of that ad is "price lowered(wife's idea)"
