EBay Replica Car Finds

Post by FRUNKenstein » Sun Sep 09, 2018 2:50 pm

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:

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.

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.
