Oh hell...

This is the car I had on my wall when I was a kid. Just wicked looking...

Who sells something like that on Craigslist; on top of that...if you are looking for that are you looking on Craigslist?

Sorry, it looks like a second gen MR2 with a bad kit body on it to me.

While it is classically 80's tacky, that is no MR2

OMG! That and the F40 would be my dream Ferrari.

jeeeezus

Ohhhhh.......mercy....big fan of Koenig and Strosek....pure 80's excessive full frontal sweetness.

WANT!

*EDIT....probably belonged to Mike Tyson.

No joke, I have this car on a poster somewhere in my base ment now; the other poster was a Gemballa 911. I still like stupid wide overpowered foreign crap.

When Koenig clearanced their widebody kits for the SEC I almost bought one for my AMG; wish I had. Sigh..

Odd spot to advertise that car. Second- a classic example of why we always remove the North American bumper height springs, and install european spec springs.

Where SHOULD I put my car up for sale, then?

What a horrible thing to do to a Berlinetta Boxer.

Can i have the turbos in a normal body?

I hate to say that, because i LOVE the Strosek stuff, and a lot of the other Koenig stuff. (Their 8-series BMW was INSANE). This one doesn't do it for me.

Looks like a horribly done fiero with an incredibly expensive motor in it.

The product of dropping acid and snorting coke at the same time.

I'm pretty sure the acid was snorted in this case.

I loved the eighties... but some things were so over the top they ceased to be funny

Maybe this is were the 80's jumped the shark.

Ah...the "ME" decade...ostentatious displays of vulgarity and consumption. Loved every minute.

Seriously, looking back, that thing was a spaceship. A twin-turbo Ferrari???? With the exception of Bob Norwood, who ran Bonneville...it simply wasn't done. In the context of the times...this was automotive badassery. He also did a T-T Testarossa roadster for Tyson, removed the side strakes and painted it blue...

Only thing that really came close (IMHO), was the ill-fated Vector.

Where do you buy rear tires for that? I am actually pretty sure that you cant anymore, although I never looked extremely hard.

Uh yeah....I was in college in the '80's and I though it was horrible then..age has not helped it....

Its Craigslist. I'm sure he's willing to trade for a Tempo.

You can get a 15" in 335 width. I forget which company makes them... but they're made in limited quantities for the Countach i think. There's a few porsche guys running them.

I'd rather have ten $10,000 cars or 50 challenge cars than one $100,000 car.

In reply to 914Driver:

I can think of one $100,000xx car I wouldn't mind.
