I’m pretty sure i’ve seen this on ebay at least a couple of times, so not really sure why they still have it. Maybe they cancel the auction if its not going to hit the price they want for it, but if someone could pick it up for challenge money, it would be a hell of a find. I’d love to see it with a full length dune buggy body, or some other fiberglass kit car body that would normally be Volkswagen Beetle based, like a Sterling, or Kelmark GT
It’s at $560 at the time of this post.

Yeah, forgot to mention the cupholders.
How are your wood working skills?
Hmm same wheelbase as a type 75 Elite.

760 at the moment. This plus a cheap 70s kit cat body would rock.
Kelmark GT, Fiberfab Avenger or Valkyrie, or sterling.... make'em go as fast as the look.
Less than a day left and it's at half budget level. Not that I'm watching or anything.

You know you need it, and you’re always welcome to stay here on the way out & back to pick it up.

Screw the 70’s kits. This is based on an Esprit chassis.

4200 final. I bet it is parted out for double or triple that.

Hey where in the world did you find that!? I have never once seen an F40 kit that looked halfway correct. And I've been looking. Not so much to buy, but because one day I was at Jim's Discount Mufflers in Belton, MO (it's just like you imagine) and there was an F40 on the rack. They guy does sprint cars or some other kind of NASCAR-ish body racers, so it wasn't like I was at a Jiffy Lube or anything, but still, it made zero sense to me. Ever since then I've been looking for a decent F40 kit so I can truly believe that they didn't ACTUALLY have a $1,000,000 car there where my Accord got $35 of exhaust work done.
