  • 1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica

    1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica

    Are you a serious Scooby fan? If so, you need this. Buy it and I’ll give you a scooby snack. Articles have been written attempting to identify the Mystery Machine’s roots, but, if I recall correctly, the cartoon van had traits from several 60s vans, all, of course, mid-engine. This 1963 Econoline is as good…

  • Non-Fiero Lamborghini Replica

    Non-Fiero Lamborghini Replica

    The seller claims this is an all-custom, tube-frame car with a carbon fiber cockpit tub.  Presumably, the body is from a Fiero kit, but we’re not sure.  What we do know is this sounds like a lot of work for something that doesn’t work; so a Fiero might have been a great idea. What we…

  • Poorly Done F50 Replica with Crack Pipe Price

    Poorly Done F50 Replica with Crack Pipe Price

    We assume there’s a Fiero under all the fiberglass, but we’re not 100% sure?  Are you? The seller doesn’t provide much useful information, aside from indicating this has a six cylinder “turbo engine”; but the ad does mention Ferrari several times in only a few sentences. Isn’t that all you need to know for $60K?…

  • Lambiero: Not Just Another Fiero-Based Italian Wannabe

    Lambiero: Not Just Another Fiero-Based Italian Wannabe

    We see Fiero-based Ferrari replicas for sale on an almost daily basis, but few go for Lamborghini details and few have this much power. In truth, we don’t know why the owner bothered with the Lambo bits on the rear, aside from the fact that the stock Fiero parts likely no longer fit, what with…

  • Childhood Dream: A-Team Van Replica

    Childhood Dream: A-Team Van Replica

    If you’re they type of early 80s TV fan who knows what “B.A.” means when it precedes Baracus, then this might be the find for you! We’ve never previously seen a truly accurate A-Team van and it looks like this is a great one.  The seller provides a lot of information in the text below;…

  • Just Another Kit Car, but Great Advertising

    Just Another Kit Car, but Great Advertising

    This is a replica of a Mercedes SSK, though in small scale.  The basis seems to be a Mustang II.  There’s nothing altogether too unusual or exciting about that, but the seller does a great job with this one, what with the ‘vintage’ photography, Gatsby references and careful mention of “1974 Mustang”, as opposed to…

  • Because the Cord Just Wasn’t Weird Enough the First Time…

    Because the Cord Just Wasn’t Weird Enough the First Time…

    …A company called SAMCO produced a replica thirty-some-odd years later. The seller says this car is partway through a total restoration.  Frankly, I don’t see any evidence of any work, but maybe it’s all mechanical?  Still, if I was the seller and had put in any time or money, I’d be more specific.  Oh well,…

  • British Coach Works TD – Interesting “Special” Edition

    British Coach Works TD – Interesting “Special” Edition

    British Coach Works was one of a few companies making replica early MGs in the early 80s, these basedon Chevettes.  That’s already pretty odd by today’s standards, but this one adds flair with an unlikely Schwepps Special Edition.  Supposedly, this was part of a sweepstakes (?!). Click for eBay ad Voorhees, NJ $6,200 with 3…

  • Wannabe Ferrari 308 with optimistic seller

    Wannabe Ferrari 308 with optimistic seller

    We see Fieros made to look like Italian exotics on a daily basis, but we’ve never seen a Beal Stiletto Camaro conversion.  This is a blatant ripoff of the Ferrari 308 and is odd in and of itself, but the best part of this ad is the text.  The seller wants to link this thing…
