I genuinely can't believe that you can operate a Fiero shift linkage successfully with a gated shifter.

Looking at the pics, the car's actually not that horrible

The proportions are screwy when you see them in person, but it looks like someone did a pretty good job putting that thing together.

A guy I went to high school built a bunch of those. He was / is very talented. I wonder if that's one of his.

Looks like a good job until you see the steering wheel with the one missing allen-head bolt and a hub emblem which is just a sticker that was cut into a a roughly-round shape with scissors cutting through the "S" and "F" at the bottom. If you saw it in person how many other little things would pop out.

And is $10k really that far below real Ferrari territory? What is the lowest priced Ferrari today, a base Mondial coupe? How about 308GT4's and/or 400i's? I haven't looked in a while, but I thought you could pick up one of those in "ratty driver" condition in the teen's.

You mean besides all of the gaudy Ferrari stickers, etc tossed all over the interior?

Or the very GM style dashboard (which can be fixed thanks to the KitCar world producing a much more european replacement dashboard for the Fiero)

Too bad it is a 4cyl. The worst engine offered in this chassis!

In reply to TiggerWelder:

Yeah, for that price, I'd expect at least the V6.

Oh and wheels that actually fit the car, but that just seems par for the course for builds like this is why I was turned off of the Kit Car world quite a while ago.

Factory Five and a few others have really helped turn the industry around to some extent.
