Double Trouble: 1986 vs 1988 Ferrari 308 Mera Fiero Clones

Wow.  What are the chances?  We got a hot tip on a Fauxrarri 308 clone (that uses a Pontiac Fiero chassis and some Ferrarieqse body work) powered by a Caddy V8 and then another tip came through...and I thought...wow, must be the same car.  Nope.  TWO DIFFERENT CADDY POWERED FIERRARIS AT THE SAME TIME.  First up is this 1988 Ferrari 308 Clone offered for $15,450 in Virginia Beach, VA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Caçador Unicórnio: 1981 Puma GTB S2

The Brazilian Puma automobile brand was the brainchild of Brazilian racer/businessman Genaro "Rino" Malzoni and starting in 1966 launched a vehicle called the GT that used Volkswagen's Karmann-Ghia Type 14 as the chassis with a rear mounted DKW 2-stroke engine.  A few years later, Puma used GM's Brazilian built Chevy Opala chassis (which was based on German Opel Rekord/Commodore) to build something called the Puma GTB, which may share most of its name with the earlier GT/GTS/GTE cars, but is an entirely different animal.  Find this 1981 Puma GTB S2 offered here on eBay for $24,000 buy-it-now or make-offer, located in Palm City, FL.

Coffee Brake: What Do You Do With A Cheap Ferrari V12?

Welcome to another Friday edition of Coffee Brake.  We'll give you a breather from the bad Pi day puns, but don't worry, they will be a constant theme in the afternoon.  While browsing through the onslaught of crap that is also known as "ebay auctions," I stumbled across an almost new Ferrari 599 GTB V12 engine offered for a starting bid of $25,000 with 4 days to go.  The question isn't "should I buy this engine" but "what should I put it into?"  Conversations in the DT office spiraled quickly out of control and into petty name calling and tomfoolery...but the conclusion was clear.  Wherever this engine lands, it needs to be into something irreverent, awesome and totally worthless as an end product.
