Ok, I'm going to play the devils advocate here, you are looking at a MK I FFR, an older chassis, with no upgrades, 4 link suspension, 4 lug wheels, not even a hood hinge kit. Couple that with a CLAIM of 500hp (all hype, not a chance that motor is making that, not even at the crank), but no dyno sheets, which I call suspicious at best. Nice paint, donor gauges, personally a $25,000-$26,000 car tops..........Sorry, I find the bidding suspect if it is in the 30's and suggest you walk away quietly so as to not get suckered in to it as it appears to top two or three bidders have by the high HP claims of the used car dealer who is selling it.
