If you had $22k to spend on a new ca in 1980 you could go buy a Corvette, but then you’d just be another Miami Vice wannabe with a nice sun tan. But if you were smart, you would have purchased a Blakely Bernardi, which might have been sitting on a Ford Pinto (or Mercury […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who calls it a “good” Ferrari replica Fiero. It is amazing that none of these companies ever developed a interior upgrade. Given the attention to Fauxrarri styling on the outside, it is a serious bummer when you open the door and look at all of that […]
Sometimes a wheel/tire combo can destroy the look of a car and then there is the other time when the wheels/tires makes the car. This is the latter. The Manta Montage is a cool car, and built to a standard above and beyond the typical fake Cobra or Fiero based kit car..but today’s Montage has […]
This next kit car was the design handiwork of former Shelby American employee John Chun when he was employed by Bradley Automotive. The GTII debuted in 1976 was a upmarket move for Bradley as the second gen cars featured true gull wing doors with frames, lower door sills, steel reinforced roof, improved bumpers, 67 Corvette […]
When you were a kid, Halloween was great for two things — first you got to dress up as something special, and second you got to eat a bunch of candy. As we become adults both of those things get less fun, but there is no reason you shouldn’t want a car that is dressed […]
I’ve never been a big fan of these Mustang II based Gazelle styled “neoclassical” kit cars, but a deal is a deal…right? This one seems to be in decent shape for the asking price, but it does have a few tears in the seat and some electrical gremlins. Am I getting soft in my old […]
Do you know what is better than a Bugatti kit car built on a VW chassis offered for fair price at an estate sale? Do ya? Yeah. Two Bugatti replicars offered for a reasonable price. According to the seller there is a large collection of other memorabilia and junk from someone named Mark Behar, who […]
This next ride is hot. Smokin’, you might say. The seller (auction giant copart) says it is a 911, the vin (119220600) says it is a Beetle, but my eyes says it’s a 356 Speedster kit car. Whatever it is, it’ll leave black marks on the pavement wherever it goes and never leave you cold. […]
The MP Lafer is a Brazilian (Brasilian?) built kit car designed by Parcival Lafer that uses the engine/transmission from a VW Beetle and bunch of fiberglass to look like an MG. You might have some questions, and you probably should, but the real question today is “who signed the spare tire cover?”. Mr Lafer himself? […]
This next car is so awesome that it was tipped to our tips email not just once, but twice. Regular tippers Rock On and Zach Z both sent me a link to craigslist advertisement with low resolution photos and a messy garage…but man oh man…I love some fiberglass. Find this 1982 Fiberfab Aztec 7 offered […]
