Ferrari forced GM to stop selling these kit cars!

I love it when someone finds the car that fits them on their terms. Good work Drew.

2024 dealer markup would've been insane on these😅

Faux-rarris' actually had dealerships, unreal😂😂😂

Best of both worlds, mullets AND minestrone....

My neighbor had a Fiero that he bought and was a,ways waffling between making it a fake Ferrari or a fake Lamborghini. Finally he made it a fake Ferrari that sort of looked like a 355 with a Testarossa. He spent over $18,000 and 6 years getting that car made and painted plus interior. He drove it once and sold it for $41,000! The guy that bought it knew it was fake but he had a moved to a neighborhood in South Carolina and wanted to park it inside his shop that sold windows. He wanted to show the windows were so tough, he woukd leave his Ferrari there for everyone to see, but just in case someone got through, he didn't want to be out a real Ferrari. Plus he said it would be a great conversation starter since he was new to the area.

It's called a Mera only 155 originals who knows how many molds were made of the original 155. The wheels where made at the same factory Ferrari had their wheels made at just smaller and different bolt pattern but look the same. the side mirrors also came from same factory they got side mirrors made. Corporate concepts was really mimicking hard😂. I own a copy on an 85 fiero frame original Mera tail lights badges wheels and side mirrors though

You call it "the prestige of Ferrari", I call it "stupidly damn anti-consumer".

Drew talks with the same cadence as Ed

You need to bring Rutledge Wood on to tell some stories, lucky for you he’s in your state!

There is always that one buyer out there for a car like this. My dad was always that guy. Loved the story.

So many Fieros and MR2s have become Ferraris, one day I want to do the opposite.

The Corvette Testarossa was a hoot too…

I always liked the Mera, they were well done, sat right, and can fool you at 20 paces. And with the V6, they probably weren't much slower than the real thing.

I'd be interested in seeing the Fierro vs 308 on a track and see how the performance compares

I remembered the back of Popular Mechanics in the 1980s being littered with things like kit car shells to transform VW Beetles and Pontiac Fierros into Ferraris. There were also LOADS of other things, like build your own airplane or helicopter. (Which you can still buy and build. Check your regulations as to what you need to do while you build them.) I guess this was one of the benefits of being a nerd back then.

You can always engine swap a Fiero and make it faster than a real 308.

Never know what stories well get each day, but always a great way to start the day. Thanks for the amazing content!

hey, not everyone can say they own a serial number 1 car, that had been shown at LA autoshow..even the multimillion collection owner cant say that..

The Mera!!!!

Who knew?
