Title: Impulse buy and build!
Post by: satak44 on October 23, 2013, 09:00:55 AM

Hello all

Let me start by introducing myself, Im Sam...So this is my story:

I have been a car enthusiast since the ripe age of 16 years old.  Im 33 now and 29 cars later i was surfing the web and came across a 1999 ferrari F355 on craigslist.  The car was amazing and surprisingly affordable.  The seller was asking 35k with only 19k miles and meticulously maintained.  Only problem was that the insurance quote was $8200 per year...lol

So my natural curiosity lead me to the world of Kit Cars and Replicas. 

As i caroused through the net i came across a nifty looking fiberglass project that someone was abandoning. The kit is a KITCARINC MERCY-2 replica.
The builder had already dumped a significant amount of money on the vehicle and basically depleted his budget quickly.  So there i was, i offered him 4500 and sure enough he jumped at the opportunity.  A pleasant transaction to say the least.

The kit is supported by a custom tube chassis
suspension, wheels, rims, power rack and pinion and a few other components have been assembled to make a basic roller.

Can anyone recommend a knowledgeable builder in the 5 Boros of New York or Long Island that is affordable?

Ill post some pictures soon!!

Welcome!
Rolling custom chassis with body for 4500 nice! I paid more than that for just the body and have much more in my tube chassis.

If that's the car, it's a Mercy1 not a 2. Welcome to the boards. Good luck with your project.

That will be quite a project since the rear section was modified and there's no kit parts or OEM parts to fit it

Everything will need to be custom made by hand
