I’m hoping the whole ad is a typo. It’s not the only typo. Maybe one too many zeros IN THE ASKING PRICE for one. Rebuild not rebuilt; I mean where is the rest of the car? C-mon man??? LOL.

Are there really aluminum headers? (asking for a friend)

They have been tried in the past but I don’t think successfully unless water cooled. They will literally melt under load. These are probably stainless steel but he doesn’t know the difference. Take a look at photos and you will be able to tell. Oh wait, there aren’t any.

If the car has all the other parts, and there are photos of the metal work done, then it may not be TOO bad of a project at $20k.

Selling torn apart projects is not easy. I was lucky to have someone local buy my 70 Dodge Challenger project that was in pieces.
