I was actually impressed with how well it looks, wouldnt pay that kind of money for it but still not too shabby. It would be cool to have chill in the garage but I would be afraid to drive it and be passed by a scooter :banned:

My thoughts exactly. How do you put a price on custom work like this? I guess start high and settle with what you are comfortable with or keep it? You never get what you put into something back, and definitely not your time, but it doesn't hurt to start high!

Just going off pictures I'd say he did an awesome job and kept the drivetrain simple. Could you imagine the costs involved with building your own frame with maybe a rear mounted LS engine? At the end of the day it's still not a Bugatti, and a whole different bunch of people would be coming up with excuses why it's dumb and overpriced. I think he chose a great route for a simple fun head turner.

Assuming the fit and function are as good as the pics dictate.

It was on ebay asking almost $80K :rolleyes:

Makes more sense than owning the real thing to me. If you have to have one of those ugly cars, get this instead and spend the remaining $910k on muscle cars, trucks and fine Butler building to park em in.

Yeah but the whole allure of the Veyron is the 1000hp. Having this with 120hp would be embarrassing when a civic smokes you at will.
