Not my taste visually, but I'm a big fan of the work that Kindig and his shop put out.

It's sad to think that this car will never be driven and enjoyed on a regular basis. I mean, maybe the owner will be driving this on weekends and whatnot...but I somehow doubt it.

It's beautiful, but it's basically sculpture, isn't it? Unless it's being driven regularly from state to state, ragged around the curves of an Alpine pass, or racing and dicing with other classy chassis and determined drivers, it's not really a car...

best,

According to kindig it will be fully road tested before delivery. Its a car you'd have to look after more but the side veiw looks like t can handle a speedbump. It might be a year or two but i wouldn't be surprised to see it on powertour or something. I'm watching its build now and theres a lot of hidden engineering. almost everything is handbuilt and if its not its modified to look nothing like stock. just the door hinges are a work of art and engineering, and every part is like that. its gone far beyond customising and is more of a modern delahaye or figoni & falaschi. this is what the wealthy should be buying, not those common as muck lamborghinis and paganis. cars like this is why detroit is the best show imo

I guess there’s room for all sorts in the rarified atmosphere of the super rich! 😜 Personally, if I had a few tens of millions of dollars drop on me from a great height, I’d be in the queue for one of those common as much Paganis… but only after I’d got done buying my GMA T.50, 911 Reimagined by Singer, and an Eagle E-type. This lovely looking piece of work would not be on my list, but we’re all different, eh?

best,

Yup, we're all different.

I'd build myself a nice little big fab shop and build everything I've been working towards building since I saw my first cars and airplanes.

I have all the skills, but at the moment, nowhere to build anything of my own...and I'm getting kinda short on time.

Well I see the difference with us all. We’re different but the same in a lot of ways. Ace is right , we all have different opinions on this car. There is a video showing how the car was made and I’m really impressed . The car was a stack of aluminum and the guys turned it into this. Jay Leno said it best, ( would you spend millions on a painting or millions on a car? ) I do not care what you guys think but money does change you. If you have more you will spend more. I have worked all of my life to have things. I have 11 cars, three paid houses , shops and other things ( all paid for) and do not consider myself rich by any means. My income working on Ferraris have raised my income into the middle 6 figures a year. I never thought I would spend $7000 on a dog but I did. I just spent $ 600 on a dinner last night and thought I would never do that ever. I just gave away several 1/8 scale models that cost around $1700 each. So if I had billions I would spend millions on a hand made car of some sort. Because I would own all of the other Ferraris and other exotic cars anyway. It’s in all of what you have and what you want to do. Like my friend said ( you only live once. ) and I think about that a lot now because my brother just passed. And I’m going to spend alot on cars and aircraft ( real) because as Ace said time is running out.

I love this car. If I had millions of dollars of disposable funds, I'd be knockin' on Kindig-It's door to build me one almost just like it, although powered by an LT-4 and with wheels that looked more like polished Torque Thrusts. I fell in love with what we lovingly dubbed the "peanut butter and jelly" color scheme when the shop I worked at was building this:
