Would you buy this over a GT-R

Fake Amuse kit doesn't look so bad after seeing this. Seriously, $89k for a glorified Mercury Cougar

Quote:

This is the nicest rebody car you will find at this time and look as hard as you like but you will not find another one that looks even close to this one. This car looks like a million dollars all day long. The paint job is base / clear, sanded and buffed to a show car shine. Ferrari red and black combo. The body is made of composite and fiberglass with a one inch tubular steel frame glassed into it. This one inch tube frame is welded to the donor car which makes the entire thing solid as a rock! This car is actually a 2002 mercury cougar two door sport coupe. The car has a nice reliable 2.5 L V6 motor and Ice cold AC. Its easy to maintain and cost affordable. I feel these are some of the most important things for sure. There are custom wheels and tires installed, 20 inch staggered. This car drives very smooth with the 20 inch wheels. I get so many questions asking how fast is the car. My best reply is fast enough. It is not a rocket ship, If you are a motor head you can install a larger motor, but I do not do that kind of work. This car is a stock 2002 mercury cougar, Stock wheel base, Stock motor and automatic transmission, Stock power windows and locks, stock wiring, stock guages, stock AC controls under these nice fancy looking aluminum trim parts. The seats are even modified stock cougar parts as well, Just everything has been recovered in a real leather, Leather seats, Leather headliner, Leather trim on the carpet, Leather Dash. Another nice bonus about this car is the rear seating area, Not large by any means, however if you have a kid or two, they will enjoy riding around in this beast. The rear seats fold down to expose a small storage area behind the seats. There is also another storage area in the very rear of the car. The exhaust exits through the large single tip which produces a nice tone. Check out the fit of the door windows to the body with the rubber molding, This factory look completes the package

This is a great car! Its fun to drive and turns heads more then you can imagine! I could even be a great daily driver..

Veyron For Sale

What are people thinking....this makes me sad inside.

Hell no!

Not a chance in hell!

That kid made that himself. I give him props. Most men don't even know how to change a tire or repair a hole in the wall. I respect someone who follows through with a project like this. The sad thing is most people have no idea what a veyron is and can't tell a lambo from a fiero kit.

Brutal 370Z · 07-18-2011, 04:49 PM

I agree. Mad props to the guy who built that. I wouldn't even know where to start.

I'll give him props for trying...but epic fail for the fact that he could have used his talents and money on something someone with any taste would actually spend $89k on.

i want to meet the guy that buys this.

That V6 in those "things", is anything but reliable.

If I had $10k to burn I'd buy this thing and do donuts. Oh, wait...

I was about to post this hahahaha. Awesome.

christian370z · 07-20-2011, 03:48 PM

The body work is pretty amazing, but why on God's green earth would you use one of the worse chassis, drivetrain and cars ever produced to serve as a base? Such a shame, there are soooo many other cheap cars that would be a much better alternative.

two words: **** that
