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

Maybe he has added too many zeroes?

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...

That car would look bad from the moon.

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.
