The one-off 1996 Ford Ghia Vivace concept car is currently up for sale.
This concept was created in collaboration with Ghia as a way to experiment with aluminum space frame design techniques. It is based on the platform of the Ford Mondeo and was acquired by the seller in 2019.

The exterior sports a bright yellow paint scheme and a two-door design, although the doors themselves don’t actually open. Elsewhere, the concept has an absolutely tiny grille, fog lights, 17-inch wheels with Pirelli P700 tires and non-functioning tailpipes. The Bring A Trailer listing mentions that the front end does have some scratches, paint chips and cracks while the right-rear quarter panel has also been cracked.
As cool as it would be to drive around in a one-off concept like this, it doesn’t have a powertrain and isn’t functional. In fact, the Ghia Vivace can only be maneuvered on wheel dollies, while photos taken from underneath the vehicle reveal that it is simply based on a boxed steel frame. Moreover, as it is just a design exercise and was never meant to be driven, the interior is made up of a brown fabric deck and just a partial steering wheel and seat backs.
At the time of writing, the concept had attracted a highest bid of just $1,400 with four days left in the auction.
