This Ferrari Enzo is a Toyota MR2 in Disguise


As one of the rarest Ferrari models of recent times with only 400 units built between 2002 and 2004, the Enzo is a prime candidate for makers of kit cars.

This eBay find is based on a 1992 Toyota MR2 NA, which is said to have been "professionally stretched and reinforced" to a 104-inch long wheelbase to bring its dimensions closer to the original Ferrari.

It Came for eBay Hell: Beware of the Flying Ferrari F40 Replica


We would have probably passed this one up if it weren't for the rather…ahem…artistic - in a primitive sort of way, photoshoped images that the seller uploaded on eBay beginning with the Ferrari F40 replica pictured flying on an American highway with a bunch of cop cars on its tail. Read more »

Chrysler Sebring Convertible Dressed Up as a Bentley Continental GTC Supersports


The Sebring is one vehicle series that the folks under the Pentastar would rather forget, as evidenced by the change of name on its facelifted replacement, the 200.

On the face of it, some customers share the feeling with Chrysler. Like this owner who transformed a 2003 Sebring Convertible V6 into a fairly accurate replica of the pre-facelift Bentley Continental GTC SuperSports cabriolet.

Retrobuilt will Turn Your Fifth Generation Ford Mustang into a 1969 Shelby GT500 Lookalike


With its sights set on those who aren't satisfied with Ford's retro-modern take of the original pony car yet still want all the advantages that come with a new car, Missouri-based Retrobuilt is expanding its range of 1969 Shelby Mustangs with the addition of a convertible model.

As with Retrobuilt's existing 1969 Shelby GT 500CS Fastback and Mustang GT Fastback models, the 1969 Shelby GT500CS Convertible can be based on any open-top, fifth-generation Ford Mustang (S-197) built from 2005 and onwards.

The conversion package replaces all body panels sans the doors with fiberglass parts, and adds new headlamps and taillights, chrome trim, vinyl striping and a Shelby wheel and tire combo to mimic the looks of the original 1969 model.

After a couple of Bugatti Veyron 16.4s and an Audi R8, we have now unearthed a Ferrari F430 Scuderia clone based on a low-mileage Cougar coupe V6.

It Came from eBay Hell: The BMW Z3 Miata Edition


Back in 1989, Mazda took the automotive world by surprise with the launch of the MX-5, also known as Miata in North America and Eunos Roadster in Japan.

The frisky and affordable rear-wheel drive MX-5 was an instant success and as a result, many carmakers tried to emulate Mazda's move by presenting their own compact-sized roadsters, including BMW, which introduced the Z3 in 1996 shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie, Golden Eye.

This Ferrari F430 Replica was Built Out of a Toyota Celica


Without doubt, the Pontiac Fiero is king when it comes to donor vehicles for replicas, but once in a very blue moon, we stumble upon exotic lookalikes that are not based on GM's mid-engined sports car.

Like this Ferrari F430 clone listed for sale in Canada. The Bianco-Fuji-colored (sic…) Maranello-wannabe is built around the seventh and last generation of Toyota's Celica sports coupe series.
