the posting title says it all. or does it? no, it doesn't:

"Custom Exotic supercar LIKE- (ferrari corvette cobra nsx 911 replica )"

Let's see, the seller doesn't mention what drivetrain propels this rear-mounted/mid-engine "exotic", doesn't mention anything about the builder or shop responsible for conceiving this beast, doesn't talk about what donor cars lost their lives to bring this thing to life ( is that an Audi steering wheel? ), and he doesn't talk about title/pink slip info.
But atleast he's only asking $22k for it.
See the ad !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

" Built by a professional in LA "
A professional *what*?

the best thing is that he (or she?) states in the posting: " Designed to look like a modern Ferrari or Lamborghini. " Yet, there's no mention of the obvious design homage to the Porsche GT. I mean, look at that rear end:

Porsche GT:

Then there's the interior, of which there is only one picture provided. I'd say that's more than enough, though:

It's like instead of leather, the dash was covered in a very exotic material: Teletubby face.

So this concludes another edition of Craigslist Window Shopping . Happy hunting...

But the dash is straight out of a fiero. Who knows how many cars had to give their lives for this thing.

Joe: Hey um Jim, I think this is supposed to go on the back.

Jim: What Joe. Oh, we already have a rear though and that piece is too tall too.

Looking again the roofline, and the rear window match.

Yeah, I saw this very same car here on Oppo a few weeks ago and said the same thing. Certainly Fiero.

It was built by a professional! His friend Joe-Bob bulit it in his basement, and he graduated highschool. That qualifies him as a professional. DUH!

Conveniently located juuuust out of reach, and expertly mounted to the dash padding with the highest quality drywall screws.

I've covered this monstrosity before

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It is often sold as a "concept car" knockoff of a lotus M250. It is definitely a fiero.

It *was* a Fiero. It's now a pile of turds on top of a Fiero.

I want to text the guy and ask him questions about it like I'm a serious buyer, and then ask him to meet me at a Lambo dealer or something. Hahaha.

The roofline was a big clue, the dash seals the deal.

Fiero - still kicking it as a kit car after 3 decades.

Do I like it? No. But I will give props for decent(appering) build quaility. Anyone knocking it please post pics of your prototype or kit car build.

I have to admit - with the side vents, I was worried it came into this world as a Boxster. but the 80s GM instrument panel gave away its Fiero origins.

The side scoops look like MR-S, but that dash and gauge cluster is straight fiero

Fire. Kill it with fire. Worst case we leave on the shuttle and nuke it from orbit. Aliens Style.
