Hey Everyone,

You may have seen this car while browsing price of his toys and if you ever seen it and said “Man I have to have one” now is your chance. They did not make a bunch and they do not come up for sale all that often, so if you are considering it don’t think anymore and just hit the buy it now button

Here the description for eBay…

Built on a 1958 pan with a 1963 tranny and a 1968 single port engine. Holley Bug Spray carb (rebuilt 2008)

A video I made when I first got the car together and on the street:

A video I made last year:

Not a show car but a car that shows real well and a blast to drive
Car is good to go…does have a pull to the right under hard, emergency braking – might just need a brake adjuster twist

NOTE: This is a very cramped interior. at 5’6″ I just fit

Reader Submitted Ugliest Lambo Creation Ever!2 Comment

Uncategorized | Mon, 11 Mar 2013 Posted by : Donnie

I’m a long time fan of the site. I think I’ve been reading it since
the late 1990s. It looked a lot different then. I’m glad it is being
updated regularly now.

I recently ran across a photo of a Lambo one-off which was just too
ugly not to share. It’s based on an un-stretched Mk2 MR2 and uses the
original roofline. While I think that roofline suits the F355 kits out
there, how can anyone in their right mind think it suits a Countach?
And while I applaud people who think outside the box (like the guy who
built a Lambo on the Pontiac Solstice) even when it doesn’t turn out
great, I think trying these things is what kit cars are all about.
Trying something new and being creative in hopes that it will turn out
great. However, a Countach on an unmodified MR2 just never had a
chance.

Thanks Rick, We are glad to be able to keep such a great site alive and active. Keep on submitting your images and comments.

Italian owner needs help with Alfa Romeo kit car0 Comment

A friend sent me a line that Vito from Italy is hoping to find information on his kit car, An Alfa Romero replica type.
He seeks documents, manuals, brochures, you get the idea, Since I am far more savvy on the GT types I thought I would post this in hopes some readers could help Vito out on his car.

Great buy on Florida Avenger7 Comment

Avenger, FiberFab | Sun, 17 Feb 2013 Posted by : the13bats

Looks like when I paid less than 3000.00 for my project Valkyrie and thought that was top dollar I got a real bargain, I had no idea these Avengers had gone up so much in value.

Steve sent us in a few photos of his flip top aztec project. He wrote that the car was purchased in Toronto last spring and is mounted on a 1969 pan. His planes are to build a tube frame with C4 suspension with a 355 Chevy and beefed up 4T60-E trans.

This should be one killer little car when its done. We can wait to see the progress.

Matula for Sale in Oregon0 Comment

Matula, Talon | Fri, 01 Feb 2013 Posted by : Donnie

We get emails all the time on kit cars that people are trying to sell. A lot of the times they are your run of the mill fiberfab car, bradley, etc. We try to limit that sort of stuff being posted for sale. This one just came across my email, and I would say it is worth saving.

This is a Matula, later known as a Talon GT. This one is not your average Body according to the person trying to get it sold. I have not verified any of this info, it is just what the email said.
