I love this car

Why would you put that much effort into something and then finish it off with such E36 M3ty seats?

Love the car, but can anyone imagine the level of technical support that would be required to actually operate this thing? It would be like trying to commute to work with a space shuttle.

Imagine if you will, the first "Tune-up" Or better yet, "Engine Refresh" since these engines were meant to run one Indy race and self destruct at the finish line.

I'd like it better if they had left the stock roof line and the Indy engine is over the top, even for a hot rod. But, they can park it in my garage anyway.

In reply to NOHOME:

If you keep the revs down(in '65 it was at 9 and change), and with the addition of real EFI it could be a daily driver depending on how wild that camshaft is. And it being a turbo with 0 overlap it should idle ok I would believe.

Pretty much this. It's a wild car, love the engine, but the chassis/body doesn't tick any boxes for me for some reason.

This one does though: http://www.purevisiondesign.com/rides/projects/martini-t-5r.html

I like it more than I should but I would put a small block Ford and a top loader in it. If I had one of those Indy engines it would be in an open car where I could see it.

This just has silver state, sandhills, and big bend written all over it. Maybe even targa Newfoundland as well. I wonder would this still be considered for the vintage class with the tube chassis?

I'd love to have this in my garage.

I love this car. It has Cthulhu's face for an exhaust manifold.

That's bad ass for sure, I wouldn't pass up a drive in it.

On second look tho, it lost the classic lines of the Falcon, reminds me too much of a fast back Torino, why not just start w/ that.

Cage looks half done for a car of that caliber. Seats, meh.

Still bad ass.

"I love this car. It has Cthulhu's face for an exhaust manifold."

OK . . .

Put your hands palm down out in front of you. Now rotate your hands up to the sides of your face so that the backs of your hands are against your cheeks and fingers pointing back towards the back of your head.

Open your mouth, squint your eyes and wiggle your fingers.

A perfect imitation of Cthulhu riding on the back of a motorcycle . . .

C`mon lottery!!!!

If i bought that, the car would never run with a hood. Ever.

That car would literally be the death of me.

I think its worth more than 5 digits!

FTFY

I don't see why car builders design a race car or a show car and say that it's a street car. I'm not a fan of the Ford Falcon so it's no big deal to me.

I'd daily drive it.

I have a friend who vintage races a real 80s german touring car (E30 M3) that requires you to drive a lap to warm it up then replace the spark plugs to race. EVERY TIME the car gets cold, you have to do it again.

All of the underpinnings are custom BMW Motorsport parts, some one-offs that cannot be replaced so he laser scanned them in case he needed a machine shop to replicate. He did this by dismantling the entire car. Even the BMW trans - different, unobtainable straight cut gears that have to be custom made. It's a whole 'nother league of madness.

listed spec... said: Ford Indy Turbo camshafts (.415-inch lift, 0 degrees overlap), 14 straight-cut spur geardrive

.415 lift with no overlap....... I'd like to see those cams, and the whole valvetrain
