No price of course. I'm leaning more towards the no like. Also the bit about most of the parts were bought from the stunt coordinator. If that is supposed to impress it does the opposite to me.
The seller does not list the price that he is asking in the listing. He simply says best reasonable offer. It appears the seller believes the car will be worth $85k or more when completed. It looks nice in the pictures but will take a huge hit due to the project status. I think it would be worth looking at it if you can tackle a project and get a great deal on the car at the same time. My guess is he will be lucky to get $30k to $35k for the car as it sits today.
Looks like someone was making a movie car clone, get rid of the red dash, gas tank and some other red stuff, $25-$30K, I didn't get the interior part? but if everything is there to put the car together maybe $35K
The engine, suspension, brakes and paint all seem good to me. All the red stud would drive me nuts though (red gas tank, really?). I'm neutral on the wheels but I definitely don't love them.
Hard to say what fair value is, but if everything is what he says it is I'd put it somewhere in the $25k range. That number prices in the fact that you'd have to remove all the red stuff, shoot it black, and finish assembling the car.
It could actually look pretty cool with nice shiny chrome bumpers and trim, and everything else blacked out.
Im suprised nobody mentioned the white exhaust. Back to the movie reference. Unless Tom Cruise is going to hook me up with his throw a ways after buying this car can't see the significance? :yes:
Jackie, I'm glad you brought that up. The 537 (hp I assume) from a 396 is possible but wouldn't be very street friendly. I suspect a little fudging of the number.
Credit card or cash most likely. Maybe a bank check. Doubtful a personal check would be accepted, but, hey, it's possible I suppose if you don't get your engine until the check clears the bank. >
Agree that its overpriced but it is definitely not a protouring car, 4 wheel disc brakes, hotchkis and bigger wheels do no equal protouring. Restomod is the right description.
Well although I am not stock I am closer to it than not. I'll say this much for stock. It has and does stand the test of time. Resto mod and/or Pro Touring will look very dated in short order. :yes:
I know this'll probably ruffle some feathers, but it's just my opinion. I can not stand red on any interior bits ever, anywhere. It drives me insane. New car, old car, great car, bad car........throw red inside and I want to burn it to the ground.
Except for places where it makes sense, of course. Switches and buttons, OK to have just a bit of red. But bigger things like complete dash sections, panels, doors or seats? No way.
I’m not a huge fan of this particular car, red bits, etc. If it’s done right and the build quality is there, I’d certainly appreciate it. As far as stock goes, to each their own. I prefer the stock look because in my opinion, GM did an amazing job designing these cars. As far as stock power plants go, only the high output stuff should remain mostly untouched (L78, L79, LS6, etc.).
