Thanks!! The difference between this car and most replicas is that every panel was molded right off real Ferrari panels. The panels even have Ferrari casting numbers in them. Also I used all OEM Ferrari parts (ie, front grill, front turn lamps, side markers, all emblems, quarter windows, challenge rear grill, upper tail light panel, all tail lights, muffler, steering wheel, etc, etc, etc.) This car has cost a small fortune to build.

Im not sure if the new owner will want it posted. But I will finish the car and by the time its said and done it will be over $30,000 and less the $50,000. Sorry I dont want to post the exact number with out talking to my buyer. And the only reason I am selling it is because I bought the home in the picture and need the extra money.

Thanks!! Yes the damn Italian car company stole the design. LoL!

To be honest I think the 355 looks like a cross between a MK2 MR2 and a Fiero.

Thanks!!

I looked at that kit too, but it was not very correct. This is an AD 355 and the company has just sold the molds. Every panel was molded right off factory Ferrari panels. If you want more information about the kit visit kitcarsforum.com and search AD 355.

Well thank you!!

People coming in to the body shop did not believe it was a Fiero even after they were told.

Thank you!

Not much I can do to make it faster here in California. Our smog laws suck. I know it can be done but right now the body and interior is the focus.
