We know what you’re thinking. Ferraris? Porches? WTF? There is no cause for alarm. Not one of the cars shown here is an actual Ferrari or a Porsche, they only sort of look that way. These automobiles are the handiwork of the Association of Handcrafted Automobiles – or AHA. This gathering of fiberglass craftsmanship and Fieros as Ferraris took place at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California this last Saturday. While some may not like what most commonly associate with a Kit Car, there is one key point to remember. The essential difference between a Kit Car and a Handcrafted Automobile seems that a Kit Car comes in many pieces and is rarely finished. These Kit Cars can be seen languishing in backyards poking through sun-torn tarps, or for sale in pieces and five gallon buckets full of parts on the internets. Handcrafted Automobiles as shown here were mostly driven into and away from the show. They may have started as kits, but were finished as cars. A great number of the cars at the show from companies like Superformance are finished and turnkey from the get go. But don’t worry. We can almost guarantee the only time an actual Ferrari will appear on the pixels of this fine publication is when someone puts us behind the wheel of a Ferrari 250 GT Breadvan Drogo for a week.
