I saw this car at the Pocono show in 2010, since then I have seen it for sale at least 5 times, Ebay, Dupont Registry, and so on.

 

My question is why why why is such a beautiful & famous car NOT selling for so cheap?? is it a scam or something??

Just wondering everyone else two cents.

 

Best~

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder becuase i really like that car.It just speaks to me.It has been on ebay a bunch of times and i have bid on it lots and was getting tempted to fly out and see it when it was in New York.I figure it is worth somewhere in the 70s so will see if it sells.

Russ, short answer, it's a shitbomb.

 

 

What makes this car so bad?? I remember seeing it in mags as a young fella. I just saw they couldn't even sale it here :

It's at a shop about 30 minutes away. It's tempting to go look. If. Big IF I did get it, I would have my friend wrap it in Flat Black ;)

 

Thanks all for your imput.

Because it's NOT a real Jota by far. It's an early car "converted" by Burtoni. Looks might be subjective, but a car with so much aftermarket engine work done on it that doesn't run right can be a mechanical nightmare.
