Why do people make “replicas” that look nothing like the car they’re a “replica” of?

That’s what I don’t understand. I totally get the idea of building your own car and the work that goes into it. But people try to copy a design and don’t even come close. And even worse they put paint and badges on it to fool the stupid!

Edit: just looked at the price, Dear god no!

Because they want to masturbate like they're rich, without spending like they're rich.

Hey now, north Burnaby is way better than central or south Burnaby. That said, the good part keeps shrinking farther north....

For the same reason they put “Turbo” “AMG” “M” or “V8" badges on cars. The people they are trying to impress don’t know any better.

It’s weird , because the people that would really be impressed are the ones that know better.

Hold on.. It’s a L26 V8 from the early 90s FWD Cadillacs?

Were any of those cars manuals?

If he avoided the Ford badges, the iconic stripes, and all of the “GT-40" badging, it probably would never be mistaken for a GT-40 replica.

That’s the worst thing about it, it missed the mark so bad that it relie s on the paint and badges to try and prove that it’s a replica.

Not that I know of. I’m morbidly curious where the frame and drivetrain for this thing came from, and why

A n older listing from earlier this month had this in the description:

No car accident 1987 Pontiac Fiero Chassis

That Cadillac engine is a popular swap because it fits the Fiero transaxle
