Man turns $150 Ford Granada into $1.65 million Pagani Zonda — sort of

Nick Truman bought his Jaguar V-12 engine with the intention of turning into a fancy coffee table. Only that never happened. Instead, he shoehorned it into a 1990 Ford Granada he bought for $150, and after five years of labor and one finger later, he produced a working replica of a $1.65 million Pagani Zonda supercar.

As Truman drives the car around his neighborhood in Buckinghamshire, England, it's clear from the exhaust note that this machine is about as far from a real Zonda as, well, a 1990 Ford Granada. And as you inspect the craftsmanship a little closer, it leaves a lot to be desired. But Truman built this by himself, under the watchful eyes of his kids. It was a bit of fun, something he hoped would cost him less than $5,000.
