Sometimes, when a kit car shows up, the seller is very quick to point out how rare it is. To some extent, they’re never wrong: kit cars may be recognizable, but don’t confuse that with being mass-produced. Of course, rare doesn’t translate to desirable, which is often my one big gripe with kit car hawkers; rare doesn’t mean anyone else necessarily wants it. Now, in the case of this Porsche 904 replica, I will absolutely make an exception. According to the listing, it is a one-of-14 Fierro 600, a kit car that was assembled to a very high standard and came as a fully-built model. This one is powered by a Porsche 911 2.0L engine from a ’69 model, and it’s listed here on craigslist for $34,000.

Man, look at this thing! It’s like a hybrid between a 904, GT40, and Ford RS2000. I love it. You can tell this was constructed to a decent quality, as unlike most kit cars, the proportions actually look good. That’s what drives me nuts about so many kits that are built to resemble iconic cars – we know what a Ferrari 250 GTO is supposed to look like, so when the chassis width falls a few inches short of what was considered factory, it’s completely obvious. This Fierro 600 not only has the proportions down pat, but the wheel specs are on point as well – see how the rears fill out the arches? That’s another quality many kit cars are lacking. This one has the added bonus of what looks like a very nice paint job. The seller adds that the rear end has been modified to more closely resemble the original 904.

The interior is nicely appointed, and the accommodations look largely normal like any other production car. That’s another shortcoming of some kit cars, where the interiors require being a contortionist to stick yourself inside. How is a car like that even remotely pleasant to drive? Fortunately, the builders of the Fierro 600 clearly intended for their customers to spend time behind the wheel, because this looks like a perfectly normal cockpit. The nicely bolstered bucket seats look to be Recaro or Scheel in origin (perhaps Konig or Flo-Fit as well) and there are no visible flaws inside in the photos. The seller reports that the replica has four-wheel disc brakes, a front-mount fuel cell, and that the engine has been upgraded with “E” cams and “S” pistons which makes it good for 140 horsepower.

The seller has good tastes, as he has a few other cars for sale that I’d also like to own. Among them is this 1959 Alfa Giulietta Spider which looks perfect on a set of updated “basketweave”-style alloy wheels. The boat tail rear end and slim chrome bumpers are two major details that indicate how the Alfa Spider should always look, but as we know, the later models weren’t so lucky. The photos show in the background a number of other interesting cars, and the seller also lists an ’84 Alfa Romeo Spider and heavily modified ’71 Volvo P1800 as being up for grabs as well. Good tastes all around, but I still want the Fierro 600. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Matt R. for the find.
