    Why, oh why if you are going to do that, you wouldn't make a 904ish car?

    I agree. That thing just oooozes class.

    As neat as cars from that era look, I have often wondered how (bad) they actually are to drive. I've never been behind the wheel of one.....anyone have any experiences they can share?

    Torn on this one - It has a history in its former form, then they resto-rodded it (admittedly, very beautifully done), but with an automatic, and oriented toward drag racing. So much potential; so little judgement.

    I'd feel compelled to put it in a vernacular the guy would understand.

    "IDIOT" is three syllables.

    OH MY GOD.

    WHY would you do something like that to THAT car? What a beautiful body on that TR3. Go cut up a damn Chevy S10 pickup or something if you want to make a drag car. A freaking automatic? And then top it off by hanging a Ferrari badge on the front....if ever anyone deserved a swift kick to the balls, it is this guy.

    At least it wasn't some rare, special-bodied factory variant, and just a one-off customer body. (As far as i know anyway)

    If I had tons of money laying around, I would buy it along with another TR3 in need of restoration, and use the mechanicals from that to return this car to its proper state.
