Ferrari has the right idea- they won't sell their high-end models to just any nudnik with the money.

That engine would be lethal in some sort of kit car.

Yeah, if I had the money, I have a 1953 Plymouth that could use a heart transplant! :lol:

Same problem :), if I had the money, I would've thought about a way to wrestle this in my Mitsubishi

Imagine that engine in some sort of Track T style car!

There's something ridiculous called a Ultima, kinda the same thing but with less power. I'd like to see this in something like a Lotus Super 7 or something like that

Just to pick it for the engine, it would have to go awful cheap, no more than $17000. Once you hit that price, you can get a crate engine with more power .

After seeing the latest pics (and having been in the professional collision-repair industry for some time), I'd say the car is definitely rebuild-able. My guess is that it will be "fixed" and dumped on a market where its provenance isn't too terribly important, but where a cut-price 700HP American factory hot-rod would be a major status symbol.

One body shop I ran did some work occasionally for a Bulgarian who routinely sold flood-damaged cars, rebuilt high-end totals and theft recoveries to Russia and South American clients. There's no shortage of buyers for stuff like this...if you know which rocks to look under.

As nuts as this engine would be in a 7 or Track-T, it has the potential to be highly homicidal!

Probably, the only thing you need is a pair of big rigs to transport your giant steel (fill in the blanks)

Since the beginning of time, high end cars have been immediately crashed. I saw pictures of a Tesla that never got off the lot, the new owner crashed into the sign out front.
