I can understand the concept, but NOT the use of a mustang.

3v is still single cam? i did not know that. I always assumed it'd have an intake and an exhaust cam.
or do they just have it described incorrectly on there? lol
thank you for the information though. still should have at least used a 4v for that 6000 lb thing
Meh, if they enjoy it, who cares? It's not like Mustangs are rare. Make it look like whatever makes you happy.
You know, a nice candy-metal flake green lacquer paint job, and I'd party like a rock star with that thing.
I dunno, the design almost works. The Mustang roof line lends itself well to the basic concept. A better artist to work the kit lines and this thing could look very good.
At least they only build things on current models (as far as I know) so nothing old gets messed up. Still don't understand how they are in business....

+1 I could see owning one of these. Especially with a V8 swap.

Look at it again after you've had your coffee.

Glad I'm not the only one that likes the Zimmer Quicksilver

Laughing, are you impuning my taste?
I still think the potential is there. Rather reminds me of the Bugatti SC.
I think the real shocking part is in the ebay description:
"I SOLD THIS NEW FOR $123,000 AND IT TOOK 8 MONTHS TO BUILD. THE NEW ONES ARE CLOSE TO $130,000 STARTING AND GO UP TO ALMOST $200,000. "
Whhhhyyyy?!?!? There has to be a cheaper way to pick up 50-something big-haired, blonde realtors in South Beach.

I think you forgot to put your contacts in...
...and never again mention Bugatti in the same breath as that hideous mass.
Or... I'll print out a picture of thsi car and put it on your Spit at Carlisle with the caption: "The owner of this car thinks THIS looks good!"

The 3V 4.6 is still a SOHC engine. Here's a picture for you.

Well that would make the Elvis impersonator there happy. As well the guy with that Gatsby kit mess that shows up year after year.
I just find the Mustang roofline in that kit somewhat reminiscent of this type of Bugatti, as well several 40's era pontoon fender cars.
