How could you insure that? You would be stuck with some cut rate company. No major insurance carrier would touch that where they might touch the real thing.

As for the "highly rebuilt and quality GM" engine - uh huh

I saw this car at the knotts show as well as while I was in Palm Springs and one other car show. It is built very well by a semi reputable company called exotic ilusions i believe, they built a mucalago rp as well as a decent diablo rep at one point. They are quite a bit different rom other companies as they build the car the way they want the sell it not the other way around so you are asured of a complete running car at purchase unlike a lot of other companies.

Still...what i learned from economics is that there is a bridge between the producer and consumer...a bridge called trust/assurance.

Don't know how this company is expecting to sell these cars...the car may have good numbers but...

Wow I like that. The GM V-6's are reliable but I would rather like to have it with the 350.
