If I could drive to Maine right now, I would grab this. No association

Wonder what they actually want for it.  No way it's actually free.

Listed for free because FB won't let you value a piece of fiberglass at $10k. 

He wants 5k 

I'm assuming at that price it's a replica of some kind and doesn actually have any real McLaren prominence?

Even if it doesn't it looks pretty good and $5k for a complete (ish) fiberglass sports racer body isn't that Terrible.  

I'm possibly just dumb at FB but I just don't see anything other then the pictures and a few comments on it

For me, the $5000 price is listed below the pictures. I use https://facebook.com instead of the app.

The ad's been edited. It was priced at FREE when it first when up no matter how you looked at it. Location is beside the price.

(trying to restrain myself from ranting about how bad facebook classified is........)

This is giving everyone here the same bad, bad, terrible ideas, isn't it...

High RPM LS with a porsche transaxle what?  Possibly turbos too? (I mean, you could do a mild 302 with an audi transaxle too, but first gear would be useless and a can-am replica really needs monster power)

There is a big part of me that wants to build something in the spirit of a can-am car someday.  Initially I wanted to do F5000, but a Can-Am car could technically do HPDE and the F5000 couldnt. 

I have kids and cant for about the next 10 years anyway. I'm lucky to get out to race what i've got.

The nice thing is that nobody can really complain about it running an LS :)

The 8D was a big Block.  

I know, but it's not like it was a rotary or some weird Fiat engine or something. The LS is not sacrilege in this case.

I can be there in about an hour. Not my gig and too many projects I do not have time for.

The McClaren Can Am cars are some of my favorite.  I recently sold a Manta Mirage kit from the 70's that had not been assembled.  It was a coupe but was inspired by the Can Am  Car.  The kit had the windshield, door glazing, tubular front suspension and C5 Vette rear suspension.  I sold it for $7,500.   I was looking at spending quite a bit for a proper transaxle/engine and finishing it off.  I decided to stick with my Cheetah tribute.  It drives great and I like the looks.

Choosing between a McLaren and a Cheetah would not be an easy task.

In reply to Keith Tanner :

You could probably hide an LS and just stick 8 exhaust tubes up in the air.  97% wouldn't know the difference. 

In reply to Keith Tanner :

Not for me. Cheetah.
