What do you guys think about this one, I like her but there are a lot of inaccuracies, but maybe worth the price?

You sure get a lot of stuff. The top looks like it had a vinyl roof and had a poor repair. You can't really tell how ruff the body is I would want to inspect it for myself. Not a bad deal but I would want to see it and talk to him and go for cheaper.

seems like a buy.

He doesn't say anything about documentation, I wonder if he has any...

I don't know if I'd even buy it for the starting bid. Here's another example of a lot of go fast race money spent on a car that you may never recoup. This car will need everything once you get going on it. Paint and body work for one, where's that put you right out of the gate if you paid low 20's for it? Money wise, I'd look at that car 10/11K tops, otherwise your upside down in a NY second.

Is it me or did he cut a whole through the gas tank for a fuel cell sump????????????? Would need alot of work to bring it back that is to bad.

Mike..all due respect :) ...not everyone is out to buy one of these cars and restore it to factory specs with all the correct stuff. There are plenty of people out there that just want a musclecar/toy to have fun with..going to cruise nights with..reliving their youth (or continuing it ;) )do a little bit of drag racing..or just banging gears and leaving some 100 ft.+ stripes on some back road somewhere ;)...it is a plus IMHO and experience if a car like this looks more pseudo stock than "race car"...I am on the fence myself with my own car...and I cringe sometimes at some of the "cool"/aftermarket parts some people install under the hood of their cars but again,the guys that are fun buying that kinda stuff don't give a hoot about the factory correct stuff..some might appreciate it and some might not...with that off my chest ;) I feel that 18K for that car is about what I would pay for a car set up like that. The big plus is it has the original motor and TH400

Point taken Chris, I guess sometimes I forget about the "Drive it like you stole it" aspect of the hobby. My next car will be a nice driver with AC that I can use anytime I want, much like the black one I recently sold.

Right on Chris. :thumbsup:
Just look at this web site, the percentage of us "original folks" here is pretty small compared to the hot rodders and "modified" folks.
