The Mosler Consulier GTP, one weird looking sports car from the late 80s. Only 70-ish were sold.

The fact that they were banned from every racing series for being too good in it's day makes them even cooler

And that's after they forced them to add 300 pounds to the car. It was still essentially unbeatable, so they just banned it outright.

by that time the damage was already done a long time ago because car and driver cheated to give the corvette C4 a win against a worn out GTP

Yesterday I saw one for sale at exotic car dealer in Ft Lauderdale.

Where and for how much? These things haven't exactly kept their value, so I figure it's a nice cheap way into the exotic sports car market.

Cheap only in entry price. If hate to think of the maintenance costs for a car like this

Driveline parts were sourced first from Chrysler, then based on the Chevy small-block (pre-LS) from the '90s. If the body sustains damage you're screwed, but replacement parts for the engine/drivetrain could be handled by AutoZone in a pinch.

It's fiberglass, ain't it? If so, just get chummy with your local boat repair shop. They'll get it fixed.
