I have tons more photos from the Carlisle 1999 kitcar show, and I figured that since this year I’m finally going and it’s, oh, seven years later, I should share some VW-based exotics picture with you. Let’s start with a yellow Fiberfab Aztec 7:
Or how about this Bradley GT II, which should feel familiar to you:
And here’s a Riot by Thunder Ranch.
Finally, one of my favorite cars of all time, the Sterling (made in a wide variety of versions):
Checking eBay right now, there are three Sterlings for sale right now! Let’s start with this conender for the worst paint job (ok, it’s far from the worst, but I really hope this is just some primer issue or something), item #4634666497, an engineless Solid Sterling currently sitting well below its reserve. I’m guessing it won’t sell this time around…
Then there’s this awesome classic looking 1976. It’s built on a beetle transmission with a build bus engine, as well as Karman Ghia front disc breaks, and more. I love this one, it’s really gorgeous, and currently ending in one day and is currently at about $5,000. Item #4632774902:
Then there’s this old beater Sterling that’s at $2000 with two days left. It’s definitely a project car (although very do-able), but what makes it interesting is that it appears to be built around not a VW, but around a Corvair chassis. Looks like it’s been sitting in a field for about five years? Item #4633247100.
But it’s cool what you can still find at a low price! Sure, you can pay $90,000 for a used first-gen Diablo, but with $10,000 to spend, you can do some amazing things in the kit car game.
