For $40k the thing had better give the driver a ******* every time the car is started. I'm not even going to go into the ridiculous mods.

Cars like that are pretty typical on the show car circuit.

It lost me there
But honestly, I think the colors and the outside of the car look pretty good. The lambo doors are iffy, the white interior has gotta go, they just need to throw away everything in the trunk, and they need to get rid of the lettering on the windshield, but I guess all of those are pretty typical for a show car. I think the green and black goes well together though. That's just me.

Not bad IMO, different. I dislike the wheels and the decals on the window though.

Not my thing, but seems to be well done.

Too much show and not enough go. Sometimes, less is more.

For a custom show car, it looks to be well done. I like the exterior paint job. Highly doubtful I would sink $40K into it though.

Definitely show car built. The audio/video system is a waste too.

For a show car, it's standard stuff that one might put together. Definitely not made to be street driven.

I like it! It is not my thing, but it is well done. There was a guy that did something like that to a 1969 Corvette back in 69 for the car show circuit. I wish him good luck with the sale.

Looks like an easy fix to make a decent street car... lambo doors go away, as would at the chintzy bits.in the engine bay, little interior makeover. I'd buy it at book value
