It will be a interesting ending, A very cool car but most people that spend big bucks on cars want eye appeal, and want the guy at the stop light next to them know they spent big bucks, This is a builders car (as it is) sleeper it will be interesting

It really shouldn't.. think about it..

It's a $2000 Nova with a insane drivetrain.. How much is in the drivetrain? $30k??

I think it's a cool car but it seems like you could build similar for less. Then again maybe the drivetrain is more expensive than I thought. Certainly it's the only part of the car that has value.

Love the car though.. how did it get any traction on those tires?

I just read through the ad again.. said it was appraised at $100k? How?

So the drivetrain/chassis would cost over $95k to build? Seems a bit steep. What am I missing?

Love the car though.. Did they ever run it at the track? If so how did it get any traction on those tires?

The car has run and run hard and good, the 30k on engine trans fuel system etc as a builder you can do it but if you need to pay a shop well thats a whole nother story, but also I think the car wont bring the hard money. Any guess on reserve mine 49,999.00

That would be cool.
Ask your neighbor if he was pulled over a lot for smoking the tires, because that keeps happening to me in that car. It does not happen in my truck, just that car.....hmmmmmm.

You poor thing.. lol

Hey, how much IS the drivetrain in that car?

That car is worth good money more for what is does. It takes alot more to make a car that works and performs, then it does to just slap parts at a car. That car make 1000 hp at the crank on pumpgas! I know with mine, it has to be a max effort build with only that in mind. It also take a very saavy tuner to get it to run properly and reliably at that power level. That is serious power!
I would guess if you called wheel to wheel and wanted a custom twin turbo motor to bolt directly into a Nova that made 1000 hp on pump completely dynoed, proven, and turn key, it would be about $35-40k. :willy:

I would also like to know, what would you charge If someone brought you a Nova W2W??? :unibrow:
