EBay Replica Car Finds

I've owned 3 replica/kit cars in my life. One was a disaster. The other 2 were decent cars. Well, actually they were horrible "cars" but did their jobs of being a lot of fun very well. So, from time to time, I stop by the "Replica" cars category on ebay just to see what's new in the automotive version of the freak show. This thread is dedicated to that freak show - post your best finds here.

I'll start with the "Vaydor".

It actually looks pretty sweet - for some reason makes me think of an Aventador.

At a cool $89,000 "Buy It Now" price, I assume it's not built on a Fiero nor powered by VW.

The Vaydor is based on an Infiniti G35 coupe chassis and powertrain, although I think there is an LS swap option

Hey Groov! We've missed you buddy! Have you made it to the 991 yet? If not, you've been passed by Cuda. I wouldn't take being 2nd place sitting down. Now go out there and find a 991! We're rooting for you!

I love that the seller lists this 1976 kit car as "Brand New". It was built 43 years ago using components from a Fiat 124. So, yeah, "Brand New" seems right.

If I had the money ($159,950), this would be tempting:

Superformance GT40 replica. Nicely done:

Superformance GT40P2181 is a MKI Body Style GT40 painted in 1968/1969 Gulf Livery with Black painted BRM Wheels with AVON CR6ZZ Tires.

This GT40 has been fitted with Aluminum Dart Block 351 Windsor that has been punched out to 427 Cubic Inches. Topped with Period Correct Weber Carburetors making 560 HP with the capability to make 600HP. Mated to a Period Correct 5 Speed ZF Transaxle.

Every Superformance GT40 is stamped with a Continuation P Series Chassis Number along the line of the original P1000 Series GT40's of the 60's. Superformance GT40's are also eligible for the Shelby World Registry.

To add to the pedigree of this GT40 it has been signed by legends Phil Remington and Dan Gurney.

GT40P2181 is registered in California under SB100 Smog Exemption and is offered at $159,950 and priced to sell. Recent Price Reduction as the owner has been approved for his purchase of a new 2019 Ford GT. Brand new, this GT40 would cost over $185,000 to replicate.

Hey Groov! Good to see you over here! I did get your RL pm over the holidays - I read it, but didn't have time at that moment to go find the thread and post something over in it. Then I forgot to go back later and look. I need to go check it out.
