I overheard he has somewhere north of $150K into the car.

Way north. Interesting car.

Well I would have to say $150 not well spent.......

Not my cup of tea.....

My .02

Engine compartment is too messy.
Engine's got too much chrome.
Stance is to high.
I like the paint. I wouldn't do it like that but I can certainly appreciate it for what it is.

I see a similar car at most of the Goodguy's shows I see in Pleasanton. Although it looks finished here. Twin turbo buford six makes it a crazy motor. Too blinged out for me though. I like more subdued and functional. Oh, and if you know the guy, let him know that the heater hose laying on the header isn't a good idea.

The car is nice. Not 150K nice but nice. I like the rear IRS and front suspension setup, the interior is nice two. But I would have expected to see a lot more for the money. Maybe he was over exaggerating....

A little flat black paint behind the grille, and on all the suspension components would do wonders for that car.

Anybody see the license plate? At least Yoko is doing something with all that Beatles money but nobody ever said she had good taste, right? LOL

Maybe she didn't get the memo about less is more......

Put a LS2-7 into that car and it would be perfect. I like the car personally, but not that engine in that car.

To each his own!

The owner must like it and thats all that counts. If it was a members car you guys would be giving it thumbs up.

Off the shelf parts. Do not kid yourself, that's what 95% use. These company's have already done the engineering for us. Give the guy a break.
