Why do you think it was a 300zx?

Headlights, at least

They really did use the 300ZX headlights on it.

Headlights. And it has Lambo badges while obviously not being a Lambo.

The Diablo uses 300zx headlights.

The Diablo and EB110 used the headlights from Nissan.

Headlights, which were borrowed from the 300 for the Diablo starting in 1999.

Just looking at it. Also if it was real it wouldn't be on the back of a Lincoln. More like enclosed car trailer.

The lights apparently do say that the lights were made by Nissan for Lamborghini.

Pretty sure that’s the hallmark of a pre-Audi Lambo.

I don’t know. I’ve seen some older supercars being towed around before.

That...might actually be a Diablo GTR. Some details are off but the ones that are on look pretty on.

It’s supposed to be a Diablo GT, but there are no NACA ducts on top of the fenders, and the roof scoop is too far forward, and there should be large empty opening at the rear flanks, not strakes. Plus, look at how crappy the window glass fits against the A-pillar.

The duct is almost at the windshield, every GTR it end behind where the driver's head would be.

Can’t confirm, buuuuut:

Quarter gills look different.

Turn signals look high

Can’t tell but looks like fender vents are missing

and maybe the biggest one:

Open towing a $500,000 car that is supposedly 1 of 4 in the US on a rented U-Haul trailer

Look at the duct on the top but other then that I’m starting to doubt myself. It just doesn’t look right in person.

yeah, that’s one of the things throwing me off. The side ducts don’t look quite right either

It’s definitely fake. The window glass is all sorts of fucked up and the wheel offset is horrendous.

I’m like 99% certain that it’s a real 99 GT.

I can’t tell if some of these people are trolling or not trying to convince me it’s real. I would much rather see a real one but I'm so set on it being a copy. Nothing about it seems exactly right.

This is a real one. Notice the marker lamp in front of the front wheel as well as the roof scoop and windshield top is in a different location.

The one in my picture is further back. This is a real gt. The car you saw was likely a fiero kit car, albeit a nice one. The rear scoop isn't correct either in the details.

They’re trolling you. I assure you it’s a kit. A decent kit, probably tube frame, but definitely not a real Diablo. You can fake body panels pretty easily, but custom making window glass and finding a chassis with the exact same wheelbase and track width are nigh impossible without using the original parts. A real Diablo’s windshield doesn’t curve away from the A pillar, nor could I fit my head in the fender gap on a real one.

The A and B pillars are telling me thats a fake.

It always baffles me how people spend so much money on these replicas and never address wheel gap and track (width). Adjustable coilovers and spacers (or wider wheels with the same offset) and it would actually look decent.

Then again, maybe it’s not really a surprise at all.

Given me an idea for buying a real one (or any old super car for that matter) and changing just a few little things to make car nuts think it’s fake.
