Not Red enough. But I'm partial.

Kinda ugly, especially those wheels.

Actually, that looks like a view of the right side of the car with the wheels turned in to the left. To the left of the pic is towards the back of the car. The wheels are on right.

Great looking color. The pics on eBay aren't that good. It's really a copper/orange color, not a brown/gold color.

Nah. Upper-left corner is the side marker lense which is forward of the wheel. Also, you can see the seam of the front air dam to the left. Thirdly, the front wheel calipers are to the rear. Left-of-picture is to the front.

I like that rear view, how it has a lot of red coming thru.

Ah, why not just get in all in red. :p

Another "NEW" car with over 500 miles on it. Yeah, right. Not!

Bid's up to 10 grand. Check-out the name of the high bidder. :D

Well, I stand corrected. And holy crap! Check out the picture that looks directly at the rear of the car. The left tire is facing the right way while the right one is backwards. Looks like they rotated the tires(?) without taking tread direction into consideration. Front to back, back to front on directional tires, right?

Most high performance cars have directional tread right? Hope they didn't do that to thier Aston Martins!

I know almost nothing about car maintenance and even I know that's not good!

Yeah. I guess it takes money to make money, but it don't make a person any smarter.

Here's a couple of pics of this car that I took at Sevenstock 7.

An attention grabber to be sure, but definitely not for me!

You have to see it in person.

It's really fantastic, but no where near worth 54k. not even 42k

Rob Tomlin,

Your pictures look better but the rims really take what ever good looks it has away. It's not so bad...but those UGLY rims...

Yeah, I certainly agree that the car would be more appealing with different rims on it. The gold paint on the rims is just too much.

Galpin's Wildfire 8

Coincidentally I was there at the dealership the day they posted it up on eBay.

The exterior color looks way better in person I must say however the bronze colored leather sections of the seats seems to be fading/off color a bit.

Galpin hands out free 2004 calendars and their Wildfire 8 is featured in the month of November. The car is in the showroom of the dealership along with a custom white 3 and an '05 Tribute.

Hope they sell it - its been sitting around for over 400 days now according to one of their salesmen.

Definitely one I would respray, Not my choice for color, have to agree with what was said earlier. Color associated with 350z. Although if priced right even an ugly car can find its way into my garage...lol
