quote:The tires really make the car, they are real Dunlop vintage racing tires. They are a medium soft compound, CR65 tread pattern and bias ply. These tires are not DOT legal and they act like very soft bias ply tires which means they flat spot as soon as you park the car and they will follow rain grooves in the freeway. The rears are also a tiny bit too wide and they will rub in corners . But just look at them, right? Best way to die

There's replicas out there that are such high quality that they might as well be the real deal. Replica in the true sense, not like most kit cars. These two were at the Carlisle import and kit car nationals this year. Sorry for the poo poo quality, my camera I had with me was pretty low quality.      The Ferrari sounded ungodly, I was there when they pulled it in. Sadly, I missed the Porsche  This other Ferrari and Porsche missed the mark. This Porsche is hilarious like a cartoon and still cool, the Ferrari is what is wrong with kit cars in a nutshell.

I Put a 400 small block in my 54 so I didn't have to modify the car to much. This is pretty wild but I love the grill on the 54 and this not having it kinda kills it for me.

Phone number goes to an Audio Video Harmony in La Jolla, California. Seems slightly odd, but could just be the guy who owns the store has actually made himself a fair chunk and is trying to sell the vehicle himself instead of using a dealer? You'd think you'd put it up for auction at... well, an actual rare/exotic car auction and not ebay.

You'd think you'd put it up for auction at... well, an actual rare/exotic car auction and not ebay. The point is to draw attention to the car. Anyone paying that kind of money can afford to fly out and look at the thing in person with a tech.
