Interesting. The description says it's on casters for movement. I wonder how hard it would be to put a drivetrain in there? But the $45K asking price is too deep for my wallet.

maybe im wrong, but the picture with the open door is poorly photoshopped, with a random car interior image pasted in. just look at the reflection of the horizon on the door wich is rotated with the door.

the description does say it has no interior, but that pic is misleading.

i think the pictures are just there to show the potential of the car.... also the "windows" appear to be just painted black and non transparent...

it's a nice looking "thing" but it boubt that A it can be easily turned into a running car... especially with the window issues, and B given the scoops etc if it's really any more aerodynamic than a nice low sportscar... but other than that it's really pertty cool

Delving into the auction pics, yeah there's nothing but an empty plastic shell painted to look like it has windows/doors/wheels/etc. According to the description it would fit on a stretched Fiero frame, so it has potential as a kit car but only after some re-engineering and mold making.

It'd be awesome to see what could be done with that as a base, though.
