This is not mine because I would have to finance it to pay for it. http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/1770187990.html

i dunno. I'd be a bit fearful of that one. Not the performance but the fact that if it breaks who's gonna fix it? Who knows what the details are on the modifications. He listed a bunch of mods but I doubt that covers it. My guess it is that only the builder knows what he did to it.

I wonder if there is more to the story... IDK about $16k, but it should pull more than $2500.

It was untested and not quite done, so maybe there was a BIG issue, that's why i stopped there, the description did not inspire confidence

You would have been arrested for theft if you got it for that price.

We should e-mail that dude and get a group together, go over, and stare at it of an hour or two.

How much would the engine, trans, and chassis be worth separately. Tack on a nominal labor charge, and that should be the price. If it doesn't work part it out and get most your cash back...

That would give most sellers a heart attack.

Good idea all the same.
