Get $500,000 worth of speed for under $100,000.
Portfolio.com as a great article on how to build an exotic sports car for a fraction of the price. From the article: Lee Noble’s company is one of more than a dozen specialty carmakers in the U.K., which exempts low-volume carmakers from compliance with some of the tests required of high-volume manufacturers. That’s allowed Noble to spend the past 20 years handcrafting some of the fastest, most audacious, and best-handling vehicles in the world. His cars are worshipped by auto lovers, and only several dozen of them are sold each year. The only way to get your own Noble in the U.S. is to buy the rolling chassis of one of the most popular models, an M400, for $66,900. That’s less than the price of the finished car in the U.K., but then you do need to do a bit more work before you can drive it. The chassis has suspension, brakes, wheels, and tires, and it’s assembled, painted, and outfitted with a full interior. You could call it a car minus the engine and transmission, but that wouldn’t please the Feds, who officially view it as parts. Next, you need to assemble your Noble. You'll of course have to do the majority of the work yourself, or hire a mechanic, but the rest of the article explains how you buy the rest of your car, and get it all put together.
