Shaq's 456?

This may be a repost, but for you experts out there what are your thoughts on this car?

I am not an expert..............but I also dont like the look of this car either.

 

There was a titanium/blue 2000 MGTA sitting at FX Performance for a year that they said was his at one time as well. All I remember about it was that it had a big stereo in it.

 

I'm certainly not an expert but I would hold out for a 456M unless the targa top is of particular interest. A heavily modified car will most likely be problematic in the future.

this car has been discussed quite a bit. When I was in the market about three years ago, this came up on ebay and I asked FofSF, Brad said stay away. Back seat removed and bottom lowered to allow Shaq room to sit, and put in his bling stereo: reason this is priced low.

It would only be good for another NBAer or such.

IF You truly want to see it, go there and check it out...perhaps it's to your style.

PS: This car has been trying to sell for years, and has NOT budged in price, that should tell you something.

 

Just to keep this thead straight, and due to Shaq's Targa model now being listed.

My comments stay the same in that it would only be good for another large/tall type person in that there are too many mods to make it anything else.

I have to admint, I kind of like the Targa option, and the color is nice, but the shields might have to go, even thought I always find them nice bling.

Oh ya' rims suck IMO

$20k drop in < year. Honestly this car would do some VERY big person a good run, thinking. Always love how they leave out the rear seat shots.

Guessing same dealer as before or he's using the same pics.....that care will be the fruit cake of Ferraris 8{)

I like the overall look of this car...even the wheels

 

Love that line.

 

Might be worth more than your average 1997 456 some day.

 

It really doesn't make sense to dirve a car with your eyes above the windshield frame.

Although, it worked for Magnum, PI in his 308 GTS for years.
