    At least it does not have a two tone interior. Nothing says I care, like Kumho tires. If it had OE wheels, I think it would look pretty good.

    Yeah, lose the wonky wheels and the roll bar, and I think it would look OK.

    Yep, that's weird.

    Take the motor out and put it in the Boxer in the other thread! Then, part this one out.

    It takes all kinds, I am confident that someone will buy it and enjoy it just the way it is. Won't be me though.

    Ask price ($70k) is pretty reasonable. They don't have the top any more.

    Tasteless. :eek:

    The guy who designed those "upgrades" must have shag carpeting in his house.

    Looks like an easy insurance claim. Did you notice the brilliant placement of the fuel filler?
    Perfect for spilling overflow fuel on hot headers. (shakes head)

    William,

    Please look at my facebook account at the post made today by an old friend of mine...Jean Louis lebreton from Greenwich, CT. Jean Louis and Coco were key to my becoming a Ferrari lover. Note, that Jean Louis posted a chopped boxer and cites it as a car Coco chopped and as being a NART conversion. I think this car is the car currently being marketed for sale. Tell me your thoughts.

    Jean Louis has a tremendous history w/ Luigi sr. and Mr, Ferrari dating back to the glory days.

    it does actually look like the same car. Jean Louis indicates the conversion was done in 1991. not saying I like the result but just adding to the history if I am able.

    no, too hard to get the cocaine out of shag carpeting :eek:

    seriously though, since the Boxer is (AFAIK) an all tube frame construction car, could it be returned to a coupe? i.e. put the top structure back on in a way that looks and performs like stock. (ignore the economics of that, just is it possible?)

    chas,

    if this is in fact a NART conversion from 1991 as indicated to me by my friend...in a few years it could be worth $27.5mm !!!

    A purist would think the wheels on MY car are ugly but those wheels are enough to make me wanna do my John Travolta Saturday Night Fever impressions. YUCK!

    the wheels were originally not painted w/ red centers...they look poor with the red.

    I bet they are gotti wheels if this was done originally in 1991.
