Amazing replica

Hi,

Not sure if this one has been mentioned before, I couldn't find any references to it. Here goes: http://www.v8archie.com/ssl500fs.htm

Fortunately it was sold.

That's SICK; at least they could have built it on a CHRYSLER Corp. chassis.

If you can not afford the car you should not try to make it look like the car you wish you had

Still looks like a Mustang.. makes me just want to throw up. I think there is a whole group of people out there that enjoy building knock offs (www.kitcar.com). I looked into it when I was like 16 and wanted to build a Cobra. Yeah, dumb idea. Anyway, I think the knock of may fool some people, but when u start the car, its a dead give away. Best thing to do is just be yourself, dont buy a look-a-like of something you cant afford. No one likes a liar!

LMAO

I can't help but wonder about those on this forum who get so bent out of shape when someone in a CL500 rebadges their car as a CL55. They must be having a mass funeral today after seeing these pics! What a hoot!
