Crazy Find

[AlpineE30]

A friend of mine works in a fleet repair shop. I brought my car in to use a welder (never ended up using it, but that's a different story. Apparently the owner has a collection of cars in the other side of the shop collecting dust... posted up a couple of the highlights.

I'd take that Pantera in a heartbeat!!!

That thing is beautiful. I was crushed by the amount of dust.

I love Pantera's!  Not exactly the most reliable cars but so cool!

Great taste but doesn't seem to care much when it comes to storing them=/

That's what I was thinking...

Well, after doing some digging that Ferrari 365 GTS/4 could very well be a million dollar plus car according to Haggerty.  Didn't see that coming.

Could it be a replica or not so much? I would assume he is not aware of the cars worth given the situation lol

It looks a little off to me so I would guess it's a replica

yeah, definitely a replica. door handles.

cool cars, none the less!

Good catch!  I'm going to guess it's built on a C3 corvette chassis.  i thought it looked a little strange but I couldn't find a good similar photo on google to compare to.  I completely missed the door handles.

Actually, it looks like the one used in Miami Vice as that is the only one I can find with those handles

From what I am told it IS the Miami Vice car.

[AlpineE30]

It was a pretty rad looking car under all that dust!

[AlpineE30]

Look what I spotted in the wild the other day!

Jag XKE replica built on an MG chassis?

[AlpineE30]

Clearly in need of some work, but didn't look too bad
