Backyard Lambo Of The Day: The Redding Fieroborghini Murcielago!

I found so many backyard-built Fauxborghinis while trying to find a suitable opponent for the '72 Stutz Blackhawk in last Friday's PCH that it seems a shame not to share some of the better ones with our readers (no, I'm not going to do a whole week of Fauxborghini PCH challenges). Hence this new (and no doubt short-lived) series: Backyard Lambo Of The Day! Today's BLOTD hails from the woods of Northern California, where the availability of good cheap beer from the nearby Sierra Nevada brewery seems to make a keyboard's CAPS LOCK key incredibly alluring. I can't slog through the entire description without getting a terrible headache, but I've gleaned sufficient info to say that we've got a mean-looking Murcielago replica on a stretched frame, with a stroked V6 sitting next to it. The seller was going to finish the project and sell it for $85,000, but he or she lacks the time and garage space to finish the project and that means it's priced at a mere 20 grand. Hmmm... you can get running BMW 750iLs for next to nothing these days- why not buy a cheap engine-donor car and build yourself a V12 Fieroborghini with this car?

Your Chance To Own A Canadian Fiero Classic: Enterra Vipre!

Forget about all those backyard Fiero hack jobs, your Fieroborghinis and your Fierraris. Really, forget 'em! You can now own a genuine Canadian-government-backed 1986 Enterra Vipre, which is currently getting some solid eBay bid action. The Enterra Vipre was based on the '86 Fiero GT chassis, so you get the mighty six-banger. Thanks to Josh for the tip! [eBay Motors] More »

When A Regular Fierrari Is Just Not Enough: Fierrari Limo!

The Fiero Ferrari we saw recently was pretty nice, all right, and there's no denying the appeal of a Fieroborghini or the Fierenzo. But if you crave a Fiero-based Italian supercar, yet also need the VCR and mirrored ceiling of a limo... well, today is your lucky day! We've found this fine Fierrari that's been stretched and converted into full Limo Overload (and we mean that "Overload" part literally, because this vehicle still has the stock Iron Duke four-banger, which isn't quite working; the seller states "really dont exactly know? could be major eng? or Minor?"). But so what? You've got room for a GMC Twin Six in that easily-expanded engine compartment! [eBay Motors] More »

Fieroborghini, With Bonus Kit Car Identification Poll

Even though only 11% of you chose the If only they'd put Lamborghini bodies on them at the factory poll choice in Friday's DOTS Fiero poll, I feel compelled to share this fine example of a "Lamborghini Countach" that I spotted in the island's East End last week. Sure, the fit and finish isn't quite up to Yugo standards, but at least it's not another boring Camry or Malibu! I'm pretty sure it's based on the Pontiac Fiero chassis, but its smog check records indicate that it's registered as a 2000 model. That's why I'm including a poll, so that all of us have a chance to debate this car's identity. More »
