And that's before seeing/inspecting in person. Unless absolute pristine build with top of the line drive train and well known professional builders in the process, have you seen FFR builds go this high?

I'm thinking at most a $30,000-$35,000 car, no heater (heated seats only work so far to warm your body), no wipers, no top, fake knock off wheels, no mention of an IRS rear end. I could see someone paying a builder 50K to build such a car (at a retail level), but for $50,000 on the secondary market, you can get a higher quality car such as a SPF, or ERA with all of the trimmings (and a 427 sideoiler if that is what you wanted) including an IRS. Or a fairly fresh, slightly used Backdraft with a hot small block and all of the other usual bells and whistles I mentioned above.


If it was my money, I'd be passing this one over at it's current price point.
