Ferrambo

+1.

 

Came out nice: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152539

But that should be "Ferrambler"

 

Beautiful work. Check out the above link for more pics!

 

why would they call it Ferrambo it seems like a ferrari / lambo.

 

Should be called the Riddler Award + Rambo was already taken.

 

Ramblurarri, like, duh!

I wouldnt normally consider something like this, but the fact the car was designed by PF kinda softens it. At least its nothing GM.

 

Who did the work on the car? Which company?

More info. I actually talked to the creator. Ricambi put me on to the project when I was looking to potentially use a 360 motor in a project car and wanted to see if a Motec system could be developed, as I was pretty sure Ferrari would not help (I was correct). These guys developed the EFI map from scratch, full custom Motec system, dyno tuned. Here is the difference as I saw it: I email him during the time he was at the show (I didn't know this). He called personally a week or so later, apologizing for the long delay (he did mention they won the top honor). He said he was happy to help in any way possible, fuel maps, tricks, anything I needed he was happy to hand over.

Whether you like the cars or not, hot-rodders are some of the nicest people on earth, and clearly do what they do out of love for the craft.

 

What do you mean WTF...it's hot rodding/custom car building...there are no rules.

Not exactly my or most peoples cup of tea, but you have to respect the work and vision to create somehting like this.

As an aside to all those who think a Ferrari w/o A ferrari engine is no Ferrari, what is this thing

 

What an eyesore.

 

Brilliant! I like the look of the car (front-end is alittle too narrow for my tastes, but putting the custom luggage compartment in-front where the engine 'used' to be is pure class). Glad to see a Ferrari mill put to good use (too bad about the original), I'd love to hear how the engine sounds with those custom exhaust pipes.

BTW, to all you 'critics' out there....compare the front with a bumper-less 330 GT Series II and get back to us.

 

I'd like to see the Ferrambler race against this VW Bus:

The Ferrambo award!.

 

I think it looks awesome!

 

looks quite interesting
not sure if i like it thou

 

I love how people get pissed off by stuff like this. I personally think its a pretty cool use of a smashed car. I mean, lets face it, with all the 360's running around these days, even pristine ones are never going to be the next 250 GTO's. Why not turn one of them into something actually unique? Love it or hate it, at least it looks to be good quality.

 

O.K. Now what do they do with it?

 

Who cares that they used a 360 engine. They made something high quality and that was unique. Besides, the last thing we need is one more wrecked 360 going on ebay.

 

I always wondered what had happened to this project after seeing the construction pics. I really like it.
But they should have used the 360 wheels or maybe a custom wheel replicating the design of the wheel

 

Hopefully, they'll bring it to the Worcester Summer Nationals....and drive it.

 

When dat?

 

This year, its July 3rd through the 6th....anything interesting on wheels will be in-town. A Ferrari-powered Hot Rod would be HUGE here.
