Looking to buy a Diablo VT Roadster Replica! $20k - $30k Range!

[eddie]

Ron , I'm sorry for being sceptical , but hey, he knows now what it takes to buy a good replica by now. ( hopefully) so like I said  20-30 Gino's are gone be a waste .
Buy a C5 or mustang GT . He'll be happy and will have some spare $ for future. Kids don't thing of tomorrow now days !

True Eddie but he does get to post an ad every time he responds.

no offence , but I  think XWB ain't buying anything , if he wants 20-30K rep then he would get it by now, anything that looks and build the right way ,the cost is above his range. we get few boys like him here. they come,then gone. dream is over.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind.

A big give away happens when they wont show a side profile shot of the car, and the front wheels, negative offset makes the car look wierd not to mention probably still use spacers on the front... just a couple things to look for

Yea I remember this.. I am looking for something a bit more complete though..

Yes there are deals/unfinished projects out there. Plenty of them just have patience and you will find them then the hard work will start. Just not too long ago there was a unfinished NEARC diablo with a LS engine that sold for $6K
I believe some folks were arguing about/with the seller on this forum.

Guess I'm a little ignorant to the difference... They look identical to me... What is the difference and what should I be looking for?

[rodrieguz]

Well this roadster is a sculpted IfG body why spend 30k for something that only resembles a diablo roadster instead of an accurate replica.  I bet those other 2 cars aren't what the price reflects either.   For a good quality car with the bells and whistles and accurate the price will be higher unless you find a project

Mostly Craigslist ads that are gone now ...

1) There was a silver roadster for sale in CA with an LT1 was for sale for $27,500 OBO

2) There was a yellow roadster for sale in FL with an lS1 sold for $34,000
3) Another silver roadster was for sale in CA with a V6 for $20,000

I can't remember them all, but I know they're out there... I know that doesn't mean they were exactly what I was looking for and they might have been all piles of crap, but they definitely looked like what I was looking for and priced decently too..

I know they're out there, I just need to keep my eyes pealed...

[rodrieguz]

Absolutely... Missed about (4) of them in the past month alone... So I know they're out there... Thanks for free bump...


post pics or links to the ones you missed...experience here would have a better idea of what you're after

[madmods]

Your best bet for the diablo is ebay, get one and fix it up or have someone fix it up. You might be able to score one. Prices always vary on them.  Your about 1/3 to the price of an aventador. Don't get ripped off. Ton of scammers who will promise you the world as long as you send that 30,000 you have. Ask your questions here, post your deals here! - all these guys on this site are seasoned builders and will guide you the right way.

you want all that for 30k? good luck getting that for under 50k,. Welcome to the forum.

[Extreme Wheels]

Been searching for awhile now and found a few good deals, but keep missing them all... Here is a break down of what I would like... I would also like to get an aventador, however doesn't quite seem like there's one out there ready to go yet...

I have cash in hand ready to go for the right car... Not really looking for a project, unless it's SUPER CLOSE to being done and a very good deal...

MUST HAVE:
1) Roadster
2) Power Windows
3) Manual Trans.
4) Run and Drive
5) All body lines are excellent
6) Doors must line up
7) No mechanical / wiring issues (unless small stuff)
8.) No salvage / restored salvage title

THINGS I WOULD LIKE:
1) AC / Heater
2) Nice paint and interior
3) V8 engine (prefer LS or LT1, however I wouldn't turn down a V6)
4) Air lift assist in front
5) Big Brake kit
6) Good tires
