Afaik Shane, the motor in the Feretta is not "from" another car. It too, was a concept motor, that I believe later became the Northstar?

SGR that was not a northstar prototype... look at the overflow cap lettering... That aint english
It was an Isuzu engine... thats why it never went on, it wasn't even chevy powered. It was simply a toy...

Those wheels, I require them. So very hot.
Also, yes, Jon's right. It's an Isuzu powerplant. We should start putting Japanese motors in our cars, as seeing that GM themselves put one in there, it's not as taboo as we originally thought.

I mean, one guy even put a Turbo/Intercooled 4G63 in there once.

On a couple of notes wanako, I've seen a Beretta with an Evo engine in it, so someone has put a japanese engine in a Beretta. Not sure where it can be found, I found it years ago. And from the first page, on the fender flares, not sure what kind of modification would be needed, but pre 97 grand prix fender flares may work. I've been lusting over this idea for years.

I guess it was for sale on Craigslist in Miami for $37500 in 2009.

You might be able to get it titled with that bill of sale as some kind of project/custom built/specialty car. I know in mn if you supply the information for it and whatever vin it has they inspect it and you can get it titled.

Now, what if I take the VIN number from my beretta, slap it on the feretta and call it a day! my beretta's obviously already registered and has insurance on it. If anyones a wiser, I took my beretta and errr, made some "upgrades." To other people, all beretta's look the same anyways regardless of model. Wait, wasn't this thread about that crazy Ohio GTU?.....the apple has fallen far from the tree....

That's the 4G63 i was talking about earlier. Thats the Evo motor..
Also, yes Fender flares would look absolutely sexy.

That would be highly illegal. Federal crime i do believe.
