For that money, just buy a used Bentley...

I agree it looks well done - at least in pictures - but I think he's optimistic about how fast it will sell. Most people who would want a car like that aren't going to have that kind of money sitting around.
Oh... and a link so you don't have to copy/paste:

Very optimistic price. I was digging it untill you realize that the driveline has over 100k miles.

How on earth does a 2016 already have over 100k on it?
Ugh. You can buy a real Continental GT for less...

The year of the donor car isn't mentioned, but based on the 5 spd transmission, I'd guess it's a '14 at the newest.

IIRC, they went to 6 spd when they introduced the coyote and 300hp v6. So '10 or earlier.

Ah... right. Not that this improves things.

Really? That would almost make one a decadent goal, but the reality of maintenance costs might interfere. I do think they're an impressive looking beast.

Done well enough amd i know little enough of bemtley that i would mistake it at a glance. Price is crap, but the workmanship appears to be up.

Plus if you look at the gauges the engine red lines at 6,000 rpm starting in 2012 the mustangs red lined at 7,000 also the mph gauge only goes to 120 mph, so it would have to be a 05-09 mustang.

Ah. See, when I read "2016 Mustang GT...," I took it to mean it was based on a 2016 Mustang GT.

Yeah. Depreciation is massive. Autotrader has 44 listings for under $50K. The maintenance cost is what would scare me off if I had the discretionary income.
Bigger giveaway on the chassis used is the fact the underwood shot clearly shows a 3 valve 4.6L.
As said, we'll built, but why?
