    Talking of Gray's,on another thread,this is a bit different for them and not a more specialised auction house.

    .......................and ouch.

    ..............and possibly the scariest front wheel drive car ever made.

    I just won this auction on fleabay, a vintage Holley inlet manifold that's been out of production since the 80's. It's the only performance manifold that will fit under a big block bonnet whilst retaining the air cleaner. Much lighter than the stock cast iron manifold and breathes better. Needs some restoration...

    Always very satisfying when you find and secure something difficult to source which you've been hunting down for a while. [emoji41]

    Sad to see another article which legitimises the destruction of real Ferraris, in order to build fake replicas.

    How a car like this was accepted at The Quail is beyond me.

    “correct, authentic” details... where's the Lampredi engine you f**kwits?

    Are you prepared to take on the Levy family,Trevor B or our own Bill M for their contributions to the 'replica/chopper' ranks?
    Do you know the condition of the donor car which was used,I suspect it would have not been all that old when he purchased it but it may have had panel damage.

    Agreed re Quail though unless it was entered in replica class.

    Those cars are of value to those whom built them but of no real value or purpose for anyone else. Must be a QLD thing, much like the WOFTAM F40 replica

    So did you get up KIAI for having a replica chopper when he had it?

    No, unlike those other abominations, it wasn't a replica. It was a bona fide Daytona converted in period. I would have happily bought it if I had the means. Ian never misrepresented the car. Not even on the same level as those QLD ****boxes. Only a true enthusiast would understand

    I'll bet when he turned at a concour/gathering he was asked if it was a real one,RHD GTS that is,by those that didn't know.

    if I had the dosh I'd have bought Bill's in a heartbeat and driven it the way it was intended to be,but you would understand that...:)

    So what if he was asked that? Big fkn deal. It's a Daytona, end of story

    And yeah, you have a history of owning really good cars and we've all seen you drive :rolleyes:
