I’ll just leave this here:

To be registered as a historic vehicle (class L), your vehicle must be a passenger vehicle, motorcycle or truck (with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less): be 20 calendar years old or older and must not have been substantially altered, remodeled or remanufactured from the manufacturers original design.

I agree with your idea in principle. But t here’s much better replicas out there that I would rather drive.
 

So I’d still request a much kinder Mercy killing than owning this.

I’m okay with this because it seems the builder built it not to sell to anyone or to fool posers, but to make something he enjoyed driving. It wouldn’t be my choice (I think all replicas are at least a little bit pathetic by nature) , but if it brought him joy to use his money on this, then good on him.

What, now we are supporting people buying/making expensive but poorly built t hings, just because it gives them joy?!?!

You’re too good for this world :)

I love how the interiors on these always spill the beans. That shifter, that steering wheel, the sill plates, the general build quality (the area on the side of the dash looks like I built it). Exposed non-color matching screws around the rear lights for extra bonus points.

I’ve seen much worse customs than this.

Now having said that, I would prefer if this was left as a stock 1988 Fiero with that supercharged 3.8L swapped in.
