Fastlane Movie Car
Now here's a Fiero bodykit that's worthwhile. TransFX, a California-based custom
car maker responsible for several GM concepts as well as lots and lots of
Batman's cars, boats, and planes, built four of these bodies for a Universal
Studios project. Designed to be mounted on a stretched Fiero chassis, only a
single roadgoing version exists, and the Volo Auto Museum will sell that to you
for $65,000. You could spend less than one third that price and pick up this
body shell, allowing you to then dream up your own undercarriage. We think it'd
be good with a Porsche Boxster plugged in underneath.
What you get for $14,000 is a very cool futuristic bodyshell on casters. The
outside might look an awful lot like a car, but climbing underneath tells the
whole story. There's nothing to this car, yet. Its just waiting for you to marry
your chassis to its bodywork. Then you'll have the task of creating the entire
wiring harness, installing all the lights, the interior, and about a quintillion
little issues that always crop up with kit cars, which this essentially is. What
we want to know is what ever became of the project these props were commissioned
for. We also hope that whoever wins the auction at least uses a Fiero GT as a
donor. It just wouldn't do to put this car on a 2M4. The Iron Duke is definitely
not an engine befitting Batman. Then again, the GT's 2.8 is merely suited to Boy
Wonder. Now, a Northstar starts to show promise. Hmm.
Thanks for the tip, Jordan!
