Default 1986 Widebody on ebay

Kinda cool but needs a little TLC. No affiliation...

Looks like it's in mid restoration after a fender bender up front on the passenger's side.

I really like how it looks except for how they tied the rear fenders into the fascia.

I like it, looks very aggressive. Only 4K miles on the rebuilt engine with a BIN of $10K. I'll keep my eye on it

I like the rear end, but the front is HIDEOUS!

Those goofy headlights are too funny.

Only someone with a forum name of RicerSchnitzzle could love this car.

Take off that ginormous wing... and I'd still be on the fence. I kinda like it. I think I'd prefer it in black, or BR green; anything other than red. It's flashy as it is, but the cherry red is too much.

Was it in a front end accident or something? Looked pretty good "finished." Don't love the seats; too Ferarri. I do like the wide wing of the upper bolsters, though.

Pretty hard to sell a "car" which does not RUN ! sure it did run ALL cars ran at one time or another ! The comments about "lightweight" usually means the interior was gutted. It MIGHT be a candidate for a track car. I have no doubt that a lot of money was spent on this project and it can be bought for far less than it cost to build ..... not that it makes it a good deal. ..... As the seller recommends any potential buyer should look this on over in person. Was there any mention about clear title ?? Because often the motivation to do a body kit is that the original fenders were bent....and the fiberglass was cheaper.

I've seen worse looking rear flares on a certain white race car.

This car has potential but it needs some work. Alot of work. IMO its priced way too high. That car should sell for about $5k in this condition, maybe less. The frontal view of the car is a stock photo that has been floating around the net for years. If I bought this car I would put some of my wide front fenders on it as I think these are too squared off. They look like the ones that Kieth was trying to sell that had come off of his convertible.
