Somebody has certainly put a lot of time and effort into it, especially the front suspension, but I think you'll find it has a Ford 2.3 litre single OHC 4 cylinder engine it.

shall we pick it apart? I don't like the wing, nor the rear wheels hanging out of the wheelwells. And, it sits too high. I do like the motor though

Well I'd rather see a blower sticking out of the hood than a huge wing screwing up the beautiful lines of the boot. Still wouldn't mind the Ford power plant though. Now a real set of wheels and tires properly proportioned and installed would help a lot. As far as 10G's goes, I will be surprised if he gets offered half of that.

I think it's hideous. I would be laughing hysterically if I saw that thing on the road with the Honda RR spoiler and the hoopti-wagon looking wheels.

This is the result of an unfortunate accident involving a Ford Pinto, a Fiat Spider and a Honda Rice car...this may happen to you if you don't come to a complete stop at the intersection :lol: :lol: :lol:

I especially like his comment how he tries to convince the buyer that it will only appreciate in value :lol: :lol: ...If it is worth so much money, why doesn't he do us all a favor and keep it parked in the garage were it will look the best :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would have actually been pretty cool if he had left the exterior totally stock -- kind of a sleeper. As it is i have to agree that it is pretty cheesy to say the least.
