Default I found that Barchetta 3500 builder's site some time ago

He builds them one at a time by hand of course. They look very authentic. That Talbot sure would be fun too.. as far as the price drop, most any replica does take a good hit after the sale, and maybe the fact that almost no one knows what a Barchetta 3500 is, has it's impact. Supply and demand.

Although that's the reserve price, it could go higher.

The only thing I did not like about the Talbot , aside from the too-high-price, was the way too much weight (2950+) combined with the wimpy motor (I assume one could boost that safely) and the modern bucket seats. They really look out of place in this car. It's just too much of a time jump, technology wise.
