Default Interesting EBay Car

Normally, I dispise these, but whoever built this one put so much effort in that I found it interesting. At a quarter of the price anyways:

Good call. I respect the work but don't like the car at all.

Is it me or does the hood scoop not even look straight down the center. I have seen much better replicas of that type car.

It's a kit car. Watch some old Miami Vice episodes, to see more.

This one looks like it suffers from poor build quality, and high price.

Could be a trick of the photo but it definitely looks off center

I can appreciate the work that's gone into making that car, but all that work to ruin a great car and produce that ugly POS
