Default Speed Racer C4?

Yup, yet another CL find!

The things people do to their cars...

I really doubt someone is going to pay $28K for this thing.

Not worth the money. I think that this thing was damaged in the Russo And Steel auction in January and it still has dents and dings.

If I pay $28K for a car, I want the body lines to match up. Even for a re-bodied car, those fit lines are horrible!

that thing is horrible. the guy that dealer bought it from said it was made for the movie but when the dealer guy looked it up they found the guy that built the car for fun. fit and finish on it is horrible. my boss did buy his cobra kit car from the guy for a decent price.

Not bad, it just has one too many zeros in front of the decimal point

I've seen much worse done to our cars. Thats not to bad for a theme car. Fit and finish needs alittle work though. Not my cup of tea at all.

I seen the real one they used in the recent speed racer movie at the auto show in nyc it was made out of a 91 c4, it looked like it was done a lot better than that one.
