Based on a Fiero of course, this has everything you want in a high-dollar exotic, replica. Random vents, lurid yellow paint, oversized stickers, slushbox, scissor doors and superfluous spoilers :grin:

One word: Hideous. :puke:
Don't forget it is a $13,000 1988 Fiero! Good investment.
You just made me loose my breakfast.
I'm surprised he didn't slap some Z3 fenders on there.
Z3 fenders' got nothing on these.
I applaud the guy's fabrication skills, imagination, time and money spent, if not his direction.
It's a very nice one of those.
Oh, and it's an automatic.... At least go for the paddles.

Even this as better proportions:
The "Ferrari"/"GT"/"Enzo" decals are the icing on this oh-so-cheapend cake. Terrible.

You know your kit car has trouble when you have to put the name of the car you're trying to fake in 14" letters on the side so people will recognize it.

Much like the ghetto Hondas that have the big Honda "H" on the rear window and a big "Civic" banner across the windshield. :whatthe:
are those gt bike stickers?

As popular as Fiero kit cars are, I'm really surprised no one has come up with a front suspension retrofit that lengthens the wheelbase by a foot or two.

Wow 31 bids so far...must be quite a few blind people browsing ebay.
I especially like the boomerang limo antenna. That thing looks like a JC whitney catalog puked all over a fiero. What was wrong with the way the stock fiero looked? 88 was the best year for that car!
It says the car was featured in the movie 13 million? what movie was that? and was it in the movie as a joke? sort of like the family truckster in vacation.

it had to have been built as some sort of joke
It looks like one of those video game cars meant to resemble a real Enzo, but tweaked so that is isn't exaclty like an Enzo (i.e. any car from the Burnout or Grand Theft Auto games). I hope whoever buys it has fun wrecking it like in one of those games.
Can someone find information about that movie? I can't find anything.

I don't think it was intended to be a joke, which just makes it worse.
Somebody actually paid $14K for that pile. PT Barnum would be proud.

It looks like they started with a Hummer.
