My friend Mark bought it. I think it was 1500.00.

They say in the ebay ad that it ran the 2006 Power Tour without incident ... I suppose they forgot about the problem (I think in the valve train) which occurred in Harrisburg, PA. I saw the car there, they were working on the engine and were having parts overnighted to the hotel so that it could make the rest of the tour.

Either way, neat car with gobs of horsepower!

I think a rocker arm broke...

That car is just the OPPOSITE of what "Pro-Street" cars were in the '80s. Fairgrounds cars with beautiful engines, paint, graphics, chassis, interiors............only none of them actually RAN good at all (if they even started at all)!!

I think the concept is very cool for someone who wants to imagine he's still back in 1970 or so with the baddest sleeper in existance, but as for today, I'd still rather have a good looking car. The days of midnight street racing with a dumpy looking car for money are over. If we could go back, it is certainly the car we'd all want to drive in to the local cruise spot and choose our next victim. It's a car that would be the perfect "best a sleeper could have been back then" car for that purpose, but as I said, it's only an image of the ultimate sleeper we can imagine in the past. As for today, I feel that it has no purpose. When we drive into the same cruise spot, I'd think most would prefer a nice looking car as well. We're no longer trying to fool anyone to putting an extra "C" note in our pocket.
That's just my own personal opinion. I do recognize the expert engineering work that went into it though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

The car would be easy to take apart, do the paint and interior.

Come on Charlie, that would turn into a 6 month project and you know it!

BUT it would be a much better car when done https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: "Charley" ...New ride for 2007 Power Tour
 

With me it would be a two year project...
