This car is priced to sell. The "buy it now" reflects a price less than what this car cost to build. This is the price for that one customer that must have the car now. Reserve price is lower but bidding could get crazy.
Before people ask: I designed this car myself after years of research. Various components were built by a few people around the world. This is not a kit car so do not bother me about that in emails. This car is a ONE OFF! No other reproduction looks like this one. The paint alone would cost $20,000.00. The wheels were made in Millan and cost almost $20,000.00.
This car is entirely hand made and a piece of art.
Feel free to ask questions via email.
Reason for selling: Leaving Californiabeforeit get's any worse here!
