Kit Cars are cars that can be purchased in kit form and assembled at home. It is common for Kit Car enthusiasts to source their stock from various “donor cars.” There are many Kit Car enthusiasts and people get into the Kit Car hobby for different reasons. Working with your hands and assembling something from scratch can be extremely relaxing, and traveling in a car that you have built yourself is an indescribable experience. However, Kit Cars are not for everyone, and if you know you are frustrated with having to change your windshield wipers, a Kit Car may not be a good idea.
Riding a Kit Car can be a way to get a cheaper car, but you should keep in mind that you will need a place to work and the necessary tools. Many Kit Cars are assembled not primarily because they are cheaper than normal cars, but because a Kit Car can be made to suit your particular needs and fill niches where normal cars are hard to find. One of the best known Kit Cars is, for example, the Dune Buggy. The Dune Buggy is also known as Beach Buggy and Sand Rail. This Kit Car is not designed for high roads; It is a recreational vehicle that can be used on beaches and sand dunes where ordinary cars experience problems. The Dune Buggy is small and lightweight and has much larger wheels and tires than a normal car. The engine is mounted on an open chassis that is perfect for hot summer days at the beach. The Dune Buggy is generally built from older Volkswagen Beetles.
Kit Cars are also popular due to the ability to create a car that resembles historical or contemporary cars. One of the most frequently replicated cars is the AC Cobra. The original AC Cobras was a powerful and elegant Anglo-American sports car that was being created during the 1960s. In 1968, the last Roadster platform was produced that put an end to the AC Cobra since the AC Cobra was built on this platform. However, the public had liked the powerful and beautiful AC Cobra and Kit Car enthusiasts began to build their own AC Cobras. Today, there are more Kit Car AC Cobra cars than original AC Cobra cars. Some of these Kit Cars are exact replicas, while others are only inspired by the original AC Cobra. Some replicas can even be said to be upgraded versions of the original AC Cobra, as Kit Car builders can make use of inventions and advancements in automotive engineering.
