We could call it "The Ferick"... then you could do a follow up build and we'd call that "The Frack"...

So then you can take them and sell them as a pair - at BJ auction. You can get up on stage with a blazer that matches their colors! Hell man! You'd be FAMOUS... and would forever be known for building the Freick 'n' Frack.

^^ LOL.. Very funny ,Greg

Yeah, I saw the wagon on ebay a while back.

You know Tim? I would love to see his shop someday. I'm not too far from Startup (Clearview).

Stick that Ferrari transaxle in one of these






and win one of these:

Okay - THIS THREAD IS RESPECTFULLY RETURNED TO IRONWORKS CONTROL!

[GregWeld]

Okay - seriously Roger.... Can that tranny be shifted with the paddles on the steering column or is it a 6 speed manual or what?

It could be very interesting in my 37 Ford Minotti... driven by my LS6 and a Jason Rushforth design... and we Auto X and track the crap out of it??

Vega or a Gbody

[GregWeld]

I kinda like the NOVA idea... '66 or '67...

The minute you stick something/anything Ferrari in.... it better handle like a go kart...

I like the Volvo P1800 idea - but it's not very "commercial". Somebody is going to want to be able to get their money out of a project like this... ditto the VEGA idea tossed out (even though I ADMIT I once owned one...) Vegas really only have a "AA/FC" image -- and this is a FERRARI part... "WE" have to come up with something that can "carry" that Ferrari mystique... and be respected.

IMHO -- Ferrambo is "sitting" for a very good reason... as wonderful as it is - it's still a "rambler"... even though it's a very very kool one.

Personally -- I'd like to stick it in a mid year Vette... but that's not really "different enough" to make a big splash.... even though, to me, it's seems a "natural".... big HP - big handling - cutting edge...

How about a VW "micro bus" -- slammed -- LSx -- Ferrari transaxle... big tires and brakes... It would be SO kool to see something like that just tearing ass on track.... There's enough room in one that you could just rock out the interior = set up for like 4 bucket seats - with the LSx MID ENGINE... but it could be the cruise machine from hell --- At first glance it's a hippy bug - but on second look there's something just all wrong with that thought - and you start to notice big azz tires - aggressive stance and a sound that just doesn't quite fit what you're looking at....
