Fieraux Lamborghini: 1984 Pontiac Fiero
If you want to drive a Lamborghini, but don’t have the scratch to afford even the cheapest Gallardo (2003-2008 which can set you back $60-80k), then you’ll need to build one from available resources. Like a Pontiac Fiero chassis, a Chevy Small-Block-V8 and 3 feet of additional frame rails. Actually, the additional wheelbase is one part of this custom thing that makes it strangely appealing. I just wish the seller could take one single photo that showed the entire car. Find this 1984 Pontiac Fiero offered for $10,000 in Philadelphia, PA via longwheelbase marketbasket. Tip from Cory.

No word on what sort of longitudinal transmission lives in there? My guess is Audi but you would think it would be stated in the ad.
Oh I see now that it’s a regular rear wheel drive transmission, then a transfer case, then a short driveshaft back to the front and presumably a differential, it’s sort of like what Lamborghini does but with the transmission in back instead of in the front. Weird, but you have go give the guy credit for coming up with his own design.
I’ve seen mid engine cars with the transmission and transfer case in the center and four wheel drive.
If you are doing a auto transmission and transfer case, why not a Oldsmobile Toronado/ TH425 and save some weight and length?
It appears the nose was molded into the fenders which were molded into the sills then the rear of the car. If you get some twisting force and crack it you might end up with a nightmare. I actually kind of like the revision to the rear bumper and lights.
