Well, you won't get any invites to a Concours d'Elegance competition, but this is arguably a better car than the real thing, with the 924 chassis and old-school Buick V8.
I don't understand the shifter, though.
Surely a vintage Alpha shifter with wooden knob would be more appropriate?
All in all it's a nice re-creation but not worth $40,000. Just because the genuine article is worth, like, $2,000,000 doesn't mean it should command a high price. Probably half that or less?

The cost to create all aluminum custom bodywork like that means $40K is a fair price just for the panels. Also, the car is clearly not done. Little things like shift knobs are easy touches.

needs a straight 8, built by siameseing a pair of 2.0 twin-sparks ;)
but yeah, I'd drive that based on looks alone.
