I like the driver's farring. I have always thought that those were cool. Also the tail lights. Nice. But, it's not a Ferrari, it's a Fiat. Why can't people be happy with that? Say it with me, it's not a Ferrari, it's a Fiat. Now repeat and rinse. :mrgreen:

Mustard and ketsup - the seats remind me of a hot dog.

What liked. The rear seat encloser, made it look like an older car. Kinda cool looking. The rear is all done in metal, the lights look ok. Others Ive seen have been way short of apealing. The price looked good. With the shorter windscreen he was going to install, this car should be a looker. plenty of potential.
The gas cap thing has to go, and it needs a flat hood and chrome bumpers. Maybe a hole in the hood too, for the 4 trumpets to peek out.

those seats are just flat ugly, unless it's going to be the poster car for Der Weinershnitzel I'd cover them up

Might have been best if he had done all of the pics in black and white. Seems that someone parted out the Oscar Meyer mobile.

Boy you guys are tough. I agree about the seats. But I think the mod's made it look just like a racer. It doesn't have to be a Ferrari to look like a racer. We all know we only have 4 cylinders. :cry: :lol:

There are a lot of pretty cool things on this car. I like when the tail lights are changed from the huge lawyer satisfying giants on the back of our cars to something else. Of course the seats where done to please only the owner which is fine until he decided to put it up for sale. If I had the space and extra cash to finish the car right for racing I would love to make a track car out of that. It is amazing that the guy put so much work into it already and is abandoning the project when it is so close to completion.

I was just quoting the add.

See -> "Styled to resemble 1960's Ferrari or Masserati two-seaters" :roll:

Again, It's a Fiat, everyone say it out lound. It's a Fiat. :mrgreen:

This thing was for sale on Craigslist a few months ago, I think for $2,500. IMHO, it's a shame they ruined a 72 to do this to it.
