The Local Motors Rally Fighter Had a Honda Door Key, A Ford Ignition Key, And a Corvette V8

Remember the Local Motors Rally Fighter? With its crowdsourced design that combined a sports car with an off-roader and a classification as a kit car that made it 50-state legal, it was the kind of thing few people would actually want to own but pretty much anyone could appreciate. If you drove one, you were guaranteed to get attention everywhere you went.

Only about 100 Rally Fighters were ever built before production stopped, so they’re incredibly rare. But if you’ve been kicking yourself for not buying one new, we have some great news. Cars & Bids currently has a Rally Fighter for sale with only 600 miles on it. If you have the money, this one could be yours for the low, low price of “be prepared to pay up big time, pal.” There are still seven days left on the auction, and at the time of writing, it’s already up to $42,000.

Doug Demuro also posted a video review of the Rally Fighter, and in addition to talking about all the quirks and features, he also mentions one especially interesting piece of information: Apparently, the seller used to work for Local Motors, and when production shut down, he bought the rights to the Rally Fighter. So even though it’s not in production anymore, if you really want a brand new one, it’s technically still possible.
