I have been talking to this guy about this car. Seems like a nice car, it does need to have the headlights and signals wired. Dash and door panels are aluminum.

Do you guys think its worth what he is asking for it?

looks a little high for me

edit: and he looks like he's very motivated to sell

not really crazy about the idea that it doesnt have working headlights or signals, motor sounds legit tho...

 

[red347lx]

wiring is simple( I hate it) but its not bad. Those things can be wired to work correctly in a few hours.

yeah not a fan of the hood either...

Save the scoop, turn it on it's end and use it for a garbage can in the shop. It'd hold a couple weeks worth of trash.

6.60 from a 420 cubic inch Windsor is lazy IMO.

6.65 in the 1/8th... Isn't that like a 10.40 car in the 1/4?

Pretty much, but he did say it needs gears.

IMO without seeing more pics it's overpriced.

Yeah he did say it went faster with 4.88's in it, has 3.73's in it at the moment. I'm sure the stock front suspension isn't helping it any. The car has to be light with no dash and lexan windows.

My car went well into the 1.4X with stock front suspension, even stock struts. But yeah, a 3.73 and i assume a 28" tire would put a hold on that motor.

my guess is he put 3.73's in it sprayed it it didn't pick up what he wanted to and is now selling it minus the nitrous. Or might of hurt it a little with spray. Who takes a car with a 4.88 and puts a 3.73 in it that didn't spray the car.

seems like a better deal to me....

Yea Dave quick went high 8s I believe in payso's red hatch for under 10gs car motor and everything. 13k for a ugly ass 10.50 car is over priced IMO exspecially for a carb car. Now it it has a chromoly 10 point an all the team z components then yea I could see 13k, but for some cobbled BS its way over priced. Scott714 car is way better and faster for half the price, plus a 85 gt is PURE SEX! Lol
