I saw that posted over on Teckademics.

That's just stupendously ghey, and personally, I think it is a *bit* of a hack job, especially the interior.

besides, if you're going to convert a cheaper car into a 456 wannabe, why not pick the 456-inspired 2nd gen Tiburon?

But then again...why do it at all?

Used 456GT's aren't even terribly expensive anymore, you can pick one up for $50-60k, which is a lot, but given what you're getting.....

I was half expecting to see a really good conversion.

This isnt it.

Holy crap you mean all this time I've been driving a ferrari fastback?!?...sigh...It's really sad, there aren't that many of these cars out there(especially the 'verts). Not to mention the middle school shop class tailight conversion. And the custom ferrari steering wheel which is probably nothing more than a sticker. O, and can't forget the seat covers, gotta love those. Just like enzo envisioned...sigh...

Not even an A for effort.

Ferrari emblems/stickers dont make a car a replica at all.

Wait, wait. If you stand on your head for 10mins and squint really hard, it kinda looks like a 456 just before you pass out...

Yeah, I guess I'm a perfectioninst.

If it ain't gonna be AS GOOD (or better) than the original, why try?

The good news is it looks like it could be saved (that is, if the owner is realistic about what it's worth)...

I think he did a great job. Can't you see the resemblance to the 456, they look practically alike.

WOW AM I KIDDING!!!!Someone needs to save this car and restore it to its orignal being.

Coulda fooled me. I didn't realize it was a 240SX until it said so....

Seriously, what do you get in the kit? A few Ferrari stickers and some different tail lights?

And since when did the 456GT come in a droptop?

Not to mention he used CORVETTE tailights, WTF. That's so terrible and flamboyant-looking. Why do people even bother. If he wanted to do that he should've got a Fiero.

Oh, wow... that's retarded.

Why not just use the Jaquemond body kit and badge it as a Porsche?

He was the special student in the class that was told he could do anything he wanted to as long as he puts his mind to it.

I think he meant well, but after he finished his little project and saw how half-assed it looked he decided to ebay it to some poor soul....

"my wife is having a bady and we need a minivan" did anyone else notice his mis-spellings and grammar errors? I'm thinking that english is not his main language, seriously. Because if it issssssssss.........welllllllllllllllll.........we can put 2+2 and see why that car looks like that.....

but as you all know, I'd buy it lol....I'd buy anything right now lol(but that just looks ****-tayy) so....I wouldn't waste my money
