LOL ----- other than it's 60K too high price it appears to be an "okay" car. The guy stopped before it was really a nice car (chassis etc).... to me -- it's like a half breed.... got some goodies - but lacks others. If I'm paying UP for a resto mod car -- it needs bad ass stance - fat tires - slammed - trick chassis -- 6 speed.... otherwise -- if it's going to look factory - then just be a factory restoration and have "value" for that. This is just my unhumble opinion of course.

Thanks Greg.
Not endorsing that car. I just like black over red. It was directed at Don, who likes the LS.
1. Any like for the '65 396-425hp cars?
2. Yep, when I saw no chassis at that price...nah.
3. I wouldn't buy any classic Vette without the SBC/BBC it was spose to come with, or a close facsimile.
4&5. Since it was an LS/auto car I really just gave it a quick look see.
I agree with how you would build it.Seems obviously built to a very specific taste. Most likely that will cost him big.
