\"Ferrari<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ferrari 275 GTB\/4 NART Spyder is an amazing car that also happens to be incredibly rare and expensive<\/a>. So if you want one you’ll need to build your own like this talented person is doing. The builder is using a 1968 Volvo P1800 structure sitting on a custom tubular chassis with a Mustang II independent front suspension. The engine is a Jaguar 5.3 L V12 which will be kept mostly stock except for new intake and exhaust manifolds. The drivetrain consists of a Mustang T5 five-speed manual with custom bellhousing connected to a narrowed Ford Explorer 8.8-inch rear end. You can follow the project’s progress on Grassroots Motorsports<\/a> or Pro-Touring<\/a> forums.<\/p>\n
