Fantastic! After seeing all the corporate mediocrity and listening to them wax silly about their ‘great products’ this is a wonderful reality check. A few guys design and fabricate a tasteful, creative tour de force – Makes me proud to be an American, even if the Ferrambos’ heart sings in Red, White, and Green.
I wish they had at least started it up though. I was thoroughly bummed at the end of the piece when I realized I wasn’t going to hear the Ferrari engine sing!

I admire the craftsmanship, but “hot-rodders” are subversive blaspheming anarchists who should be put up against the wall.
No, we are not!(and we out number most car groups) Take your anger out on the moran (sorry) that totaled the engine’s donor car.
If the entire works of Shakespeare can eventually be reproduced by an infinite number of monkeys, then it was inevitable that somebody would eventually stuff a Ferrari engine into a Rambler.
Gotta admit though… it’s a great middle-finger salute to car snobs at both ends of the spectrum. Put the creators on the list of people I’d like to have a beer with someday.

I love this car; it’s everything that’s right about batshit-insane fabrication.
Irritating both Ferrari snobs and Rambler nerds in one fell swoop is perfection.
Somewhere in Modena Il Commendatore is red-lining the tachometer with his spin-rate.

I like the Ferrari styling cues on the front end.
This video is useless without driving or engine sounds.
My personal favourite is the 2CV mated with a 355…Ferritroen? Citrarri? 355CV?

“subversive blaspheming anarchists”
My favorite type of people :)

Wow. That’s a piece of art.

I doubt it, Enzo Ferrari was known for the cynical distain which he held for his road cars and those schmucks who bought them.

I love it.
The craftmanship looks first class.
The hotrod with an american v8 has been done about 99 trillion times, so this is fun.
And, given the craftsmanship, it’s probably worth more on the open market than your average 360 Modena. Nice.
They shoulda put it in the Fleetwood Brougham, though.
It’s a clean beautiful station wagon! What’s not to love?
“Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.”
“The client is not always right.”
Enzo Ferrari.
Kinetic Art. I love it! If he wrapped Yugo sheetmetal around a 360, would it be a Ferrago?
