The parts are worth that, but it is a very typical car. It has typical parts on a basically bolt togther car. It looks good on the quality scale but there is alot you cannot see in pics. Car really needs to be looked over.

No brake booster
Copper core radiator

I don't really understand a pro street car that's back halved to that extent without any roll cage at all?

Does seem cheap for what it would cost to build. Just getting a nice 55 to start with is tough.

Remember at 75K you have to like it just the way it is. If you start changing it the cash register is going to start ringing real quick and often. Pro Street cars really aren't alot of fun if you get caught in the rain. A friend of mine rolled one traveling under 30 MPH. A torential rain came before he knew it he slid sideways againt the curb and the thing layed over on it's side before he knew what happened. He is an older guy, a drag racer, and expierenced pro street driver with respect for what he's driving. It didn't matter. Just something to think about when you consider owning this type of car.

I like a lot of things about the car although pro-street isn't my style.

Like the poster above said, figuring in the cost to make a '55 body straight, plus all the other components on this one, it seems like a very fair price.
