This next car comes as a tip from Hugh who writes: What do you call a T-bucket roadster with a Jaguar XK engine and an automatic transmission? A lotus Seven of course! It's almost as strange as that desert boat pickup thing. Maybe pickups that aren't pickups week? I dunno...but this next car sure is a pick-me-up.

The world of GT-40 replicars runs the gambit from atrocity to travesty, but in this next car we might have found a bit of a gem.

It is almost an automotive cliche to turn a Pontiac Fiero into something more exotic and flashy. Ferrari and Lamborghini body swaps seem to be the most common ones. The Fiero's plastic body panels made the car perfect for this sort of thing. General Motors made a dizzying number of powerful front wheel drive 4-6-8 cylinder engines that are ripe for swapping into the Fiero platform.

Way back in 1986 a guy by the name of Chuck Beck partnered with Kevin Hines at Special Edition Inc out of Bremen, IN to build a high quality 356 replica. The rear engined 356 Speedster and mid engined 550 Spyder have been continuously rolling out of a small workshop for owners to finish assembly and drive around looking like a million bucks, but only costing about $30k. Find this 1957 Beck Porsche 356 Speedster Replica here on eBay bidding for $20,000 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go, located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Tip from FK.
It's crossed auction blocks at $38 million, topped dozens of click-baity website listicles for most beautiful car ever made, and was, statistically, on the childhood bedroom walls of 46% of the people reading this (I'm convinced most of you had Volvos or Citroens. Or a Chevy Corsica). Only 36 were made. Today, for less than the price of a new Civic, is the 37th. Sort of.

Fiero owners' collective inferiority complex has resulted in some unique creations. None are as famous as Ferrari replicas, of which few are as clean or make as much power from the stock V6 as this one. Find this 1986 Fiero Ferrari 308 Replica

The Knobbly-Lister race cars were built and campaigned in 1957-58 with similarities to the AC/Shelby Cobra introduced in 1961. The idea was the brainchild of Brian Lister and the cars were very successful in the 1958 season, powered by Jaguar I-6s and Corvette V8s. Fast forward 40 years and Chuck Beck (of Beck 550 Spyder fame) designed and built a number of Lister replicas and eventually sold the rights to a company called Avanti. Avanti went belly-up in 2006 due to allegations that the owners were involved in a Ponzi scheme...clearly in violation of the US federal government monopoly on such activities. The history of this Lister Replicar is indeed fascinating and this one can be purchased for $12,500 sans drivetrain via craigslist, in San Clemente, CA.
