What car would you buy if you had $8,000 (€6,000) in your piggy bank? An used one maybe? How about something different like a Lamborghini... van? OK, we’re misleading, there was no such thing coming out of Sant’Agata Bolognese...
... but it did came out of Discovery Channel’s “Ultimate Car Build-Off” series and it’s now up for grabs on Craiglist. As you can see for yourselves, the van has been chopped and fitted with Lamborghini Murcielago-like headlights and bumper. Notice the resemblance? Good for you then, because we don’t!

Moving on, this “Astroghini” was built by Hollywood Hot Rods in California and it’s powered by a 350 cubic inch (5.7-liter) V8 engine. The owner want $8,000 or Best Offer for it but he’s willing to trade this street legal orange contraption for a “sport bike/crotch rocket”.

Hey Neil Patrick Harris, are you still interested in a van? Forget them Toyota Siennas and Honda Odysseys, this might be it!
