The fact that it’s not stretched is the first thing I noticed too. The craftsmanship looks top notch, but there’s no mistaking it for the real thing. I can’t wait for the Hoovie crossover episode.
The bodywork looked exceptionally well done and flat. Things like the trim that goes round the headlight looks great rather than a sikaflex filler that you often see.
There's a guy from Russia or somewhere near there building a car based on the Cyberpunk game!! I haven't gotten any updates, so not sure what they are doing now, but they had it almost finished. You can find they're UA-cam channel if you search for real cyberpunk car or something like that. I'd love to have one of those futuristic cars for sure!!!
The Countach was my dream car after watching Cannonball Run. I think every kid had a poster of that car. I had the chance to pick up a roller chassis kit car with a bad motor for 2k and someone beat me to it. I actually like the fiero cars. I was looking for a donor but then the price of kits went up and I was pretty done at that point.
looks more real with the roof on. the side glass makes it look more stretched out. i think they nailed the front and rear end. u can only barely tell the fiero cabin proportions are a tad bit off but looks good
Extremely cool! My best friend has a Rolls Royce Ghost built in a 2005 Lincoln Town Car! Impossible to tell the difference UNTIL you look inside the car!
I hope to land a Diablo Replica soon. I always wanted a Countach but I ended up wanting a Diablo more. Plus I can get a roadster. I'm much larger than you are, I cannot imagine trying to fit myself in a Diablo regularly. Stick a 3800 SC in it and youre set. If I get a car ill have to drive up from Phoenix to Las Vegas and let you check it out.
Do a build man. ground up. You hit the nail on the head with the price of originals. We are doing time machine in reverse. Replicas are gonna make a come back!
One of the better ones I've seen (don't have a best but this might be it). Like the ability to pull the top and part of the doors. Doubt my 6'5" would fit w-o some redesign.
I think the reason why replicas like this get such a bad rap is because so many are done poorly with parts flappin' in the wind and using lawn mower engines in something that's supposed to be a sports car. Done well, with a respectable base & quality materials, it wouldn't matter if it's "real" as long as it's fun, enjoyable... and doesn't break if someone looks at it sideways.
I have yet to see a kit car in person that was completed. Usually found in a trailer park under a tarp with a poorly fit body, engine half out and a wheel base that is far too narrow. This looks good! Who cars what it's not. Love it for what it is!
People take drivetrains from the later pontiac grand prix gxp's which had 5.3l ls engines and swap them into fierro's, so it would definitely be doable in this car if he was interested in some performance.
The proportions on it are very elegant even if they are not quite authentic to the original. Given the choice between this and the notch back Fiero body, I would definitely pick this replica body. It is a beautiful car in its own right.
A guy local to me was trying to sell a couple of 308 kit cars that were built on a Fiero chassis. He had a black one and a red one. They weren’t very expensive. If I remember correctly one was the iron duke and the other one had a V-6. I bet he still has them.
Funny, that is 100% my old car. I had one in ARIZONA about 12 years ago. My dad and I put skateboard wheels upfront to pull in the driveway and mine had Diablo seats and a very minor minor scratch on the outside side of the wing on the ride side fin just like that one. My was titled as a 1989 lambo and it was the exact same. Very difficult to put fuel in it. It had white interior with white Diablo seats but I swear that is my old car????? I traded my old chopper for this back in 2008/2009 during the recession. I know it’s my old car from Arizona.
@@johnfehr89 no one is saying anything about fiero in 1989. The Lamborghini was the 25th anniversary in 1989, that’s all. All fiero enthusiasts now the car was only made from 84-88 with the first year of the gt being 85
You are correct sir! You sold it to a guy in Chandler AZ and then i bought it from him. Had it for a few years then sold it to Bob almost a year after this video was made. Great times with the car for a few years both here in Vegas and AZ, but for health reasons i sold it to Bob. Thanks for putting the skateboard trucks on it...saved the front end many times! :)
Looks a lot better than a lot of replicas but to make a targer no, you know it’s a fake plus the pop up lights are round not square and the doors pushing out, that’s an aventador thing not a countach.
Hello,i dont speak english so well because i'm french but i was wondering if these (or others...) kits are available and if it is possible to set it into others véhicles ? Countach' one is awesome ... Thanks
Decided to sell my countach IFG kit it is meant for a stretched Fiero but I bought a factory five GTM chassis that I planned on using instead. Will sell separate or together.
Hey Videobob if you ever want to film my CTS wagon let me know...!!! I will drive to your pad...!!! Overall great video...!!! I only thing I would do to the fiero is swap out that powertrain i.e. that gutless 2.8L and swap in a supercharged 3800 V6...!!! Its a very well-known swap for the fierros..!!! Okay see you on the next one...!!! 👍🙂✌️
I saw one like this in 2004….. thought the thing really was a expensive car….. until I sat inside the car it wasn’t what it looked like outside lol was still cool tho prob took a lot of work ect
Could always get a hold of Hoovie and have him help you on finding a replica lambo. Never know , maybe a few "purists" might know where a few replicas are stashed.
I rather have those two cars as replicas then the real thing cuz I can drive the cars and enjoy it can't drive The originals cuz the too expensive so you're better you're better better than me
Wow, even the headlight are stuck in the up position like a real Fiero!!!
It is a Fiero tho!
@@corksoaker4934 bad merc is a jealous . Thats the problem . Its a fiero but when you drive it, nobody would know 😂

I loved the V6 Fiero. Thsts a cool replica.
I had 2 Fieros. Loved them both. Super fun to drive. This brings the Fiero to a new level!
I'm into all of these custom built cars. I would rather have a one of a kind car. Then one anyone can have.

Those replica makes more functional sense because of the platform built on.
Hell Ya! Lambo replica will be great video’s
It’s gotten to the point where even a fiero stock is now a collectors car
I thought that was what got them the Cease & Dissist from Ferrari's lawyers?

I think it was because of the two ladies who drove it.
I've been in that car my brothers friend who recently passed away owned it
The fiero seems to be the corgi of the car world. You can make that little guy look like anything.
Been salivating over owning one of those for years. Nice build!!
You got the best UA-cam channel ever I enjoy all your videos everything you do do whatever you're the best!

Yeah I agree on swapping in a supercharged 3800 V6 L67 with a 4T65E-HD transaxle. That 2.8L that comes stock is so underpowered...!!!
@@TheMaddPCGuy I'd use the F23 transaxle instead. That auto will end up getting fried over time.
Do a build man. ground up. You hit the nail on the head with the price of originals. We are doing time machine in reverse. Replicas are gonna make a come back!
I think this would make a great build project Bob!
I totally love it. Beautiful job they did.
I worked with a guy who had the gull wing and V-8 conversion done but that Lambo conversion blows it away👍

I'm holding out for a Yugo kit car. LoL
Never was a fan of the stubby ghinis, but these D&R kits I really love the quality of their work....might change my mind
I have yet to see a kit car in person that was completed. Usually found in a trailer park under a tarp with a poorly fit body, engine half out and a wheel base that is far too narrow. This looks good! Who cars what it's not. Love it for what it is!
I like the Square headlights better then the cycle ones, they fit the design, also makes sense & the targa top.
Thank for the video Bob. Your such a cool guy. Positive always.
I’ll drive both , it’s all about having fun lol 😂
People take drivetrains from the later pontiac grand prix gxp's which had 5.3l ls engines and swap them into fierro's, so it would definitely be doable in this car if he was interested in some performance.
ROFL! "So are a lot of TT's, but they're still pretty awesome." 😂😂
Video Bob is a legend, makes such good content. Thank you
Bob's outfit actually matches quit nicely with the Lamborghini fiero
I'm not a massive Countach fan, but that Fiero example is on the money.
It will definetly be more reliable and comfortable.
Wow it looks really good
So cool love it! My brothers friend who recently passed away owned one it was in the movie cannon ball run
"Its not about pretending to be something its not " real lamborghini badges and emblems everywhere
It looks solid.Proportions look good too
The proportions on it are very elegant even if they are not quite authentic to the original. Given the choice between this and the notch back Fiero body, I would definitely pick this replica body. It is a beautiful car in its own right.
It's so cute it's impossible to hate. If I had a Countach and Countach money I'd buy this replica for a fun daily driver.

Video Bob, the replica car king! Maybe you should look into making some of your own if you think the market is there.
Do you know what that’s a fantastic idea

Looks cool i like it perfect colour for you bob
When he says make a right where the Prius did you realize how much cooler this car is than what's typically on the road.
Had a friend a few years ago that put a 350 chevy in the back of a fiero.
Looks 👍 I almost 💵 a red one went with yellow😎 with black interior had it 15 years now🤓
Looks a lot better than a lot of replicas but to make a targer no, you know it’s a fake plus the pop up lights are round not square and the doors pushing out, that’s an aventador thing not a countach.

Not bad for a kit car 🚗 who really wants a real one when you can have a kit car instead. You’ll save thousands just in parts and service alone.
I know it's a kit car, but is still really 80's cool. It is never good when a guys rubber comes off...
Love the doors
What a classy car!!
Cool shit man. Looks great.
Decided to sell my countach IFG kit it is meant for a stretched Fiero but I bought a factory five GTM chassis that I planned on using instead. Will sell separate or together.
These are good for movies.
I remember when these came out. Ha Ha, I always thought they were great, for a kit car.

Are you the dude down Rawhide?
@@RobertMoseley No... But I take that road to go to work...!!! 🙂
11:57 got me crackin up 🤣😭
Always wanted a Countach but will never be able 2 afford 1. This Be My Only Option...Speed Zone an Cannonball Run 4 Eva..❤❤❤❤❤
With that roof on, you did proper Lambo Yoga to get in it! Meaby go test same with Hoovies Lambo...
Looks good for a shorty
Proportions slightly off? Yes. Do I love it? Yes. ✊😂
I saw one like this in 2004….. thought the thing really was a expensive car….. until I sat inside the car it wasn’t what it looked like outside lol was still cool tho prob took a lot of work ect
Replicas need to be celebrated! 😊🤘🏽
Where did you buy the body kit of the Lamborghini
I would like to how you would build a kit supercar, with a little Doc Brown flare.
Looks good!
Nice car! I want a prova Lambo
Great video anyway. Also keep the cooking videos coming
Could always get a hold of Hoovie and have him help you on finding a replica lambo. Never know , maybe a few "purists" might know where a few replicas are stashed.
Nice car!
Check out Charley Strickland and Strickland racing for a custom chassis and body, man with many pedigrees.
I've been waiting for a UA-camr to do a Countach Replica, I thought Tavarish would do one, but he gave up on it
What would the going price be for a replica if you made one?
How ironic it actually looks better than a real Lamborghini! lol
What a fun video!
Hope all is well bob haven't heard from ya since all the flooding in Vegas
LS swap that thing ASAP! Put a manual transmission in it too!
Bu tarz bir otomobili Türkiye getirebilme fırsatımız varmı Ustam ?
it looks way better with the curved windshield.
Pontiac Fiero prices are gonna go up too.
@Koyaanisqatsi lmao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@koyaanisqatsi316😂😂😂😂😂✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼👋🏼😀😀
Looks cool 💪😎💪
Bootleg motors has a good ring to it.....rock bottom prices...cheers!
It was a replica of a 5000s Sometimes you simply do stupid business. I can even almost shed a tear . That's how much I miss it.🇸🇪🇸🇪
25th, not a 5000!
Lol I remember when Diablo’s where 80k and Testarossa’s 40-50k euro.. Tried to convince my ex-wife to buy one as a investment..
Cool thing.
Can you explain us about what led up to what happened with your brother Marty and your brother Doug and a little more info about your dad
Get your audio sorted and I'm in
Hope you are ok after that flooding
that is cool but man is it short but you probably fit in that better than you would fit in hoovies real one
Fieroari
Lamborghiniero
I rather have those two cars as replicas then the real thing cuz I can drive the cars and enjoy it can't drive The originals cuz the too expensive so you're better you're better better than me
Slap the supercharger 3.8 in it
What model and year is this?
For us, real people, thank can't afford a countach 😂 just sayin. Looks cool as Fuck 🤘🤘
Are you interested in buying a car similar to the one in the video?
My uncle had a blue Lambo kit car..
I like them too! You should check my site for my twist on this kit. I do have some cutting edge ideas. Enjoy your videos
Tittle are fake but still awesome 🤣😂🤣
