Incredible!

:shock:

I know this car well. The owner doesn't generally use the forums.

It's a nice car, with some neat stuff in the engine compartment, but it doesn't hold a candle to Duane Swords' car IMHO. I have no knowledge of what Duane spent, but I bet it also around 100k. Duane's car is simply immaculate top to bottom.
To me it looks like a 40k dollar coupe plus a 3.8 conversion. It doesn't cost 60k to drop a 3.8 in a coupe, so the price is more than what a buyer could build one for., which makes no sense.
I hope I am wrong, and the seller gets his price, but I think not.

Not sure how the thumbs down got there, but I must have accidentally hit something!!

coupe

Agreed, this is no where near a $99k car. I'd would like to hear more about the motor and what chassis work was done.

 

[HB Chris]

I can't get beyond the air dam, wheels, rear bumper delete, seats and many other items but anyone who knows me understands.

I genuinely wish the seller the best of luck with this resto-mod. But I do hope this doesn't get on BAT where the P Car guys will feed on it for months.

 

[Arde]

Looks like a very special car.

 

[decoupe]

Reduced pricing on this one makes the $99K sound OTL.

Gee, for $99,000.00 you ought to get better fitting carpets and a toolbox.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this beholder doesn't get the hognosed front spoiler, or eye patch over the inner L headlight:

Very interesting car..

Very interesting car..

There is an original 30,000 mile car on Mobile.de for 75,000 euros or roughly 100k USD.....a much better investment and the car looks almost perfect...

 

[CSteve]

Gernstetter, can you post the listing here? Computer challenged. Steve

Saw this car years ago when I started mine. Awesome. But just not for everyone.
You should have seen the builder's desk, my new CS 'office' chair would be perfect. ;-)

One of the parts from the desk ended up in my car since it was unobtanium at the time (and my slightly less nice one went on the desk). That had to be the most unusual place I sourced a part for any car in my life.

Too funny rb71!
