I found this a long time ago, and thought it was pretty interesting.

Throw a big V8 in, get a ferrari/lambo kit, and enjoy

FWIW, The cops had every right to destroy the car. The Italian local police are pretty adamant these days about enforcing Italian products. Last time I checked, Ferrari was from Italy.

The knock-off handbag, wallet, and sunglasses guys were always scanning the horizon for the (police's) white or blue hats/helmets. If you got caught selling the stuff, you were going to jail (at least overnight). . . The real kicker though, was $12K infraction per item if you were caught buying it.

. . . just imagine what would happen with a knockoff automobile.
There's a big difference between flooding the market with inferior products that an oblivious customer could accidentally buy or receive, and a project car that was never intended to be sold or received as the original - except visually.
