IT IS BUILT ON A 1969 VW CHASSIS, WITH NEWLY REBUILT 1600 CC MOTOR, DRIVE ANYWHERE AND BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN!!
Yea, it'll be the talk of the town when the neighbors' 17-year-old kid beats it by four car lengths in his rusted out Honduh Civic. Now, if it had a twin-turbo V8 big block or something it might be worthy of wearing those panels, but that's just WRONG.

There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to make a replica. This would be the latter of the two. Even the body kit is hideous.

How he could call that a 917 replica I'll never know. Not one line or panel matches the original...

Hey hey now, Yes, the thing is rediculous, but if I had lots of money and could get that for 2 grand to put around in, i think it would be pretty funny, just to see the looks you get. Probably just my 18 year old maturity kicking in, but I think it would be fun. (just not as a serious car)

I've seen several of these on eBay over the years. They never cease to draw the ire of this board. And rightfully so, this thing is dreadful.
