Re: too much time and money
Joe,
There is a story of true friendship and ingenuity behind that orange spider! Brad, the owner, lives near me and is a good friend. The car is something special for sure! Brad has posted on this forum and answered many questions about it. I suspect if you search 5.0, you will find the posts.
In any case, I'm sure you didn't mean anything by your title, but it is far from the truth. Brad has neither excessive time, or money. He simply wanted to save his sisters spider from the crusher and have a project to do with his friend. They built it almost 11 years ago now and it is on the road on a regular basis.
It certainly isn't for the purists but he drives it a lot and that is much better than it being gone forever!
Now, a Ferrari or Lamborghini engine in a 500, that may deserve the title! Ha!!

Re: ferrari motor in a 500
