I like the typed,typo'ed term "relica" , which is a car so hopelessly snarfed that it has achieved a new status.

We used to see lots of this sort of thing in the 1980's in northern ca , Austin healeys , Jensen healeys , mga's , all with v8s in them , all huge power with no chassis improvements. Most of them wound up in trees, or in guard rails, I guess this one didn't,

The best hybrid though , was a friend with a 240z with a v8 and a Doug Nash 5 speed, man that thing jammed!!!

I agree , eBay should be smarter about listings like this , it really screws with the entry level enthusiast who has a hard time understanding the cars.

Me, I am still looking for a Jensen interceptor with a viper v10 in it.
