Everything feels nice and tight! Goes down the road nice. 54k mile southern car. T TOPS. BUILT ON A TRANS AM CHASSIS NOT A FIERO! THIS IS THE ONLY V8 5 SPEED REPLICA THAT I HAVE SEEN. IF YOU DON’T WANT ATTENTION THAN THIS ISNT THE CAR FOR YOU.
Unlike other replicas, these weren"t kit cars but vehicles made in a factory. They were put together by Henderson Motor Corporation, a Florida-based company, from brand-new Pontiac Firebird Trans Am cars. Phillip M. Thomas, famous for his role as detective Ricardo Tubbs in the hit 1980s TV series Miami Vice, was a shareholder. And he reportedly drove one of the cars in one episode for the series. Production of the Machiavelli Max didn"t last long, though. Ferrari sued the company and Henderson was forced to stop production after only 12 were built. Rumor has it Maranello forced the company to put an end to the Machiavelli Max because it looked very similar to the 308, a V8-powered sports car the Italian firm produced from 1975 to 1985. This is not the Max edition.
Condition:
Engine/transmission This car runs and drives great. Drive it anywhere & handles like it’s on rails. The manual transmission and clutch shift without any issues. The 305ci engine runs great with no problems. Under the hood is stock other than a k&n air filter. The European performance sounding exhaust gives this car a great tone. Mechanically it is good to go. No oil leaks.
Here is a video link of it driving: https:/ youtu.be/zxjHEbMS_tc
Body: This car will need to be repainted at some point. She looks great from 20 feet or going down the road but the body kit will need some attention. The nose and hood area need alignment. It has multiple cracks in the fiberglass. Most notably is the drivers side door where the kit is peeling away from the door and quarter panel areas. The corner of the hood and front air dam is also cracked. The flip headlights are not working. The headlights work but they don’t go up and down automatically so you have to do it manually.
Interior: is pretty decent, the seats are in nice shape and are not ripped or torn. Door panels and dash are nice shape. Carpet has discoloration and blemishes, it should be replaced. The area around the rear window will need new headliner material. But the main headliner around the t tops is good.
Overall this a running great car and with a paint job it would be a spectacular car at a fraction of the cost of a real Ferrari 308. When you drive this car everyone thinks it’s a real Ferrari.
