A seller in Yuma, Arizona, has listed a replica of a 1997 Ferrari F50 for $9,500, offering one of the more eye-catching examples of Fiero-based conversions that continue to circulate among kit-car enthusiasts. The listing positions the car as a budget-friendly alternative to the rare Italian supercar, of which only 349 were produced from 1995 to 1997 and now command multimillion-dollar values.
This particular replica is built on a 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE chassis equipped with a 2.8-liter V6 and an automatic transmission. The seller notes the car shows 22,000 miles and carries a clean title. The wide-body design and exterior badging are intended to mimic the appearance of the F50, including Ferrari-style wheels and emblems. While it is far from a mechanical match to the original, the car is presented as a head-turner with a distinctive profile.
The owner lists several upgrades and features beyond the cosmetic transformation. The car includes a cold-air intake, power windows, power door locks with new remote poppers, cruise control, and four-wheel disc brakes. A tilt steering wheel and custom four-pipe exhaust are also part of the build. Recent maintenance includes fresh oil and transmission filters.
Inside, the car is fitted with an aftermarket audio setup that includes AM/FM/CD capability, a television display and a rear-vision system, along with a power antenna. While the condition is described as good, the ad focuses more on the custom features than on any imperfections or remaining needs.
The seller is asking for $9,500 in cash or is open to trading for a fifth-wheel trailer, signaling flexibility for buyers interested in a unique project vehicle rather than a collectible supercar. Replica builds like this vary widely in quality and execution, but they often appeal to shoppers looking for exotic styling without the high cost or limited availability of the real model.
