Always wanted to build a kit car

[Tool Pants]

When these Boxstir conversions show up on ebay some people make fun of them.

If you look at the spy report of what a 2010 might look like on the cover of November Road & Track, it looks something like what these folks in Florida have been doing for a few years.

It takes time and talent to do something like that. I will leave the taste up to you....

I agree! I just don't like the view behind the roll bar.

I agree, kit cars are an art and require a lot.

If that is what suits you go for it, but I personally don't really like the way these look. The front is great in the first two pictures, but the rear needs help.

Pictures from the rear, using juniinc's picture as the 1st picture.

i like a few kit cars, too. if i did get/build a kit car, i'd do a Gallardo or Murcielago replica. i always wanted a Lambo... ;)

Cobra's are my all-time favorite car.

My goal in life is to eventually own one! Hopefully not just a kit one. :D

I saw one of these kits in person this summer at Autobahn CC. I agree the front looks pretty good, but the rear just made me nauseous; way out of proportion. It didn't help that the car was painted a metallic flake red....kit car give-a-way. Might as well have a Laser GT...

(It does look like the 2010 cover car)

Seafeye:

Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing.

Here is a photo of an aluminum bodied, "continuation" of the original Shelby Cobras for Djomlas and Rick3000.

Owner told me he was into it for a little over $150K so far, and that he had to wait 15 months for delivery of the aluminum body and kit from Shelby. The color is called "Viking Blue."

I have more photos if you want to see them, let me know.

Regards, Maurice.

Haha - great pic TP! Where the heck did you find a tractor around here?

Speaking of the boxster--GT "conversion", I agree that the front looks nice, but the back is unnhhhh. Maybe I will get a larger trunk space in the back, but thats about it. I re-read the road and track half-page article on the 2010 boxster - they do not mention getting any direct info from porsche. Most of the wording appears to indicate pure speculation on their part. I would not be surprised if they took a look at the boxster--GT kit cars when putting together their pics.
