Any interest in NeoClassics?

I like these versions, the red looks sharp.

The red one is built on an 80s Camaro/Firebird. The white one is a 280ZX. Both do-able using recently issued kits and some 30s classic parts.

Now I remeber one that I have always liked, the Corvorado:

Never thought about this one being based on a Corvette, I just thought it was a severely shortened Eldorado. But now I can see the windshield/T-tops. However, either one is easily purchased, and the Caddie isn't considered THAT prestigious to copy so, I have to ask "why"?

 These neo classic cars have too much bling on them and not at all tasteful to my eyes!   I am not a great fan of stretched limmos either.

My idea of turning up in style to say that you have really made it can only be in a chauffeur drivenRolls Royce!

I like this one - I can see the Corvette basis in the door and roofline. Mix it with a Mercedes 540K and you're set!

These are interesting to look (and sometimes laugh) at, but not enough to interest me in building a model of one. 

To my eye most of them are completely tasteless and tacky, like pretty much everything in the "disco" era.  Only my opinion however, like everybody has one

Let's face it, 89 NYC pimps can't be wrong!

I've always wanted to kit bash one of these. It would be great to put with other Bond cars.

So many of these designs are sooo awful...that they're fascinating and would make a good model    The Corvorado is a fave for its pimp-tastic-ness, but that white Excaliber roadster mentioned earlier is probably the best-looking car in this thread! Doesn't have any kit-car stink on it at all!

A while back I encountered a  VW "Bugatti". It was pretty legit, but I recognized the VW torsion-bar suspension instantly. Still a convincing and attractive package! Here's a pic from the net of a similar one:

Any more pictures of it from other angles?

I can see the appeal of the Volks-Bugatti.  Sure, you aren't fooling anyone, but it is something you can use and have fun with, without worrying about the automotive equivalent of a Faberge egg.  And if you really have to have a perfect replica, the folks at Pur Sang will sell you what is for all intents and purposes, a duplicate of a Type 35.

 

I like the Panther J72 because they manage to capture the look of the original SS100 fairly well.

The Cumberford Martinique I like because unlike so many of these attempts at retro styling, it has a fairly harmonious design, and I do like those wood fenders.
