I think its still in Florida. If you have 20 plus grand burning a hole in your pocket. Last time he had it for sale it was over 30 I think.

So you want to spend $30 grand on a one-off Beretta and take it apart? Then you plan to make V8 kits using a motor and transmission that doesn't exist but in that car? :shock: :unknown: Flawed logic IMO. If you win the lottery, buy it (if it's ever for sale again) and enjoy it for what it is, and leave it that way. There is nothing anyone would gain from your plan. :crazy: %)

Well what I was think is basing it off the northstar but taking the design they did to make it work the the feretta and make it as a good to go kit that all you gotta do is widen the frame rails and bolt the k frame and motor in and plug and play everything maybe I'm just dreaming but it's a good idea IMO that things gotta have sweet suspension on it, if it ever comes up forsale again I'll offer him 15k cash

Love the wide body kit on that ferrets though basically just bigger fender flares wish I could buy a set or have them molded, but I love the steering wheel they put in it, not liking the weird seat what was GM thinking on that weird white and blue combo

I was gonna say, I have a video of it running lol

As well as a ton of pictures from under it... It appeared to have Pontiac 6000 running gear to get the AWD setup to work. The rest of the turbo setup was simply one off and used whatever they could get their hands on.

Could you imagine how nice of a holeshot you could get and improve your drag time with the awd, not an awd fan but would be sweet back to a GTZ with w41 and getrag :good:

what i would want is the mold of the floor pan they used t make the feretta so that if anyone ever wanted in would be a hell of a lot easier to fab it up then from scratch
