The ultimate kit car starting point

seller said: The only one in the world air cooled VW engine and tranny combo installed in a 1985 Pontiac Fiero. Combined to make a great little sports car that handles like a dream and is more reliable that the original car. I built a special 2161cc stroker vw engine that puts out over 140 hp with dual dellorto carbs and really makes this little car scoot. Super easy to work on and everything works except the heater since it's no longer water cooled. LOL. (working on the heater adddy) Just put a new $450 exhaust on it so it looks a little different in the back now. This fun little car lost about 600 lbs in the mods I made and will eat the V-6 Fieros for breakfast. Drop me a line and if you want and come over, I'll take you for a ride. 1972 bug IRS tranny only has about 1500 miles on it since built. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Wouldn't really call a hopped up vw motor reliable, or fiero engines unreliable. Or tha fieros can handle.... Stll nifty tho.

In spirit, it's like the anti-kit-car... All the things that would be put into a kit car, huddling together for survival...

how can it handle with the knobbies on the back?

hmmmmm. Different.

Dropped 600lbs??,I doubt that claim quite a lot.

rallycross car?

Punch-buggy red!

Ouch!

Somebody needs to put a Ferrari 308 kit on that, then take it to Italian, German, and domestic auto shows - they'll piss off 90% of the enthusiasts!

Needs Lambo doors ftw
