ferrari f40 replica bodyshell

That... doesn't look half bad.

Can't be sure from the limited pictures but the analogies look rather good, certainly better than most Fierraris that are out there.

I agree looks great but what's the cavalier thing all about?

It looks like the centre section has part of the floor pan and bulkhead in it.

Maybe it's the same wheelbase?

According to Wikipedia F40 is 96 inches and the Cavalier 99.1.

Now that more pictures have been added - with just hours to go, solid marketing practice - It does seem that very few parts of the cavalier donor survived.

I do hope that the one that gets it will end up putting the suplied molds to good use. So far it looks like it could go for peanuts.

It did go for peanuts.

1.460 for a full bodyshell with the moulds. Guess it would have gone higher if the auction was a bit longer than just four days.

BMW Z3 is 96.3" - hmm, that might just work...

I can see the shape of the manta/cavalier in the window and roofline
