      It has to be a very very small crowd.

      Not my cup of tea either, but someone has to like them.

          That should've been enough for that Baur, too many weird issues for it to command much more than $5k. Should've taken the money

              Not really my cup of tea, but that car pulls it off well.


              Looks badass and well executed.

                I sent a link to my great-sense-of-humor brother in law and he dared me to post this:

                “Amazing machine , no doubt! An obvious work of much love and skill!

                That said, no thanks. Sure it’s got a clean title, but why?

                Driving this centerfold on the street would be somewhat akin to wearing a speedo to a family-oriented water park! From the rear photos, even with the wide fenders, this speedo doesn’t even cover all the bits! But, even if your speedo covers enough to be legal, it’s just somehow offensive to flash all that Ferrari red and sparkly gold when there are children around!

                That said, let me take it to the next vintage races and even I will strut around shamelessly all weekend , even between races, wearing nothing but my bright red speedo with gold necklace!”

                  That car is well known. Really surprise the owner is selling it. Various youtube videos on that car. Interesting to see what it will go for. That's a different audience but equally fanatics. I like it. Has that vibe and the seller has some serious money invested. With the right two bidders, that car just might make some serious money.

                  Unclear if he's running cats. Why wont he open up the sunroof?

                    It looks well done but this is one of those cars that is only worth it to a very small amount of people who like that very same specific aesthetic. I am, however, not one of those people and cant wait for the tacked on fender trend to be over.

                      Yes, I admire it on some level, but prefer more of a "wolf in sheep's clothing."

                      On the track, though......

                            Continuing my theme today of being completely unfiltered in my interweb comments, I agree.

                            I can't stand tacked on fenders. Just not my thing.

                            That being said, I do admire what they've done.

                              Already over 10k, I think there is a market for that car it just is NOT gunna come from R3V. Personally, if you could get into that car cheap (near where it is now) it would be an absolute blast to drive.

                                100% agreed. That car is ruined in my eyes. Yuck.
