Vintage VW Cars

not VW but my other passion.

no not a real Diablo. not even a exact replica. A very accurate replica can take years to build and requires skills outside of what i can produce. they also cost around $40 to build and can cost as much as a used Countach if you get picky. I have neary $20,000 in this project. mostly consisting of the rebody kit, and Chevy V8 conversion.

the rear window works fine at when a car is directly behind you. but when overtaking a car you cant see the car till your in front of it again. Ive owned and driven several stcok bodied fieros so i know my bounderies pretty well. its not too much differnt.....besides being a nearly a foot wider and six inches longer..

there is both a mix of kit form parts, and scratch built parts, but all work done by me, no check book custom shop work for me.

yes i also think so it is not a real Diablo. not even a exact replica. it is just a berk model made by someone ales this can not made so easily as it shown they should take years to build
