That could be really fun with a C4 chassis stuffed underneath.

I would daily that. After a lot of work of course.

So what could you throw in there to recreate some Italian noises? Alfa 3.0, VR6, 3.4 SHO V8 (do they make good sounds?) Mazda KL (that V6 one)

I'd put a LS in it, have you seen the House of Muscle with the 383 in a Ferrari 250 gte? It works Since the car was an engine donor thirty years ago.

I never noticed those awful rectangular headlights on the Miami Vice kit car before. I'm kind of glad that they blew it up.

I know a crankshop that makes a 180 degree crank for LS engines, for that authentic Italian sound

Why does "Best offer" mean "I want more than this is probably worth..." to me?

So what does a kit like this typically sell for? Granted, I'll concede the "already have a title and tags" part is worth a fair bit. I've seen C3 chassis on Hemmings for reasonable prices fairly often.

Here's my old one that I built in '85 and had filmed on Max Headroom. Almost got to buy it back 2 years ago.

Easy to make quite fast and an LS 6 speed combo would be sweet. But mine had a working trunk... Good thing I don't have space or I'd be tempted to try to do it all again....

The kit, in '85 cost over $6k, but that included polished aluminum bumpers and real Ferrari lights. Another $1000 got the dash and center console with instruments.
