are you speaking of the shot of the bare block or the something-looks-a-little-off shot of the engine bay compared to the normal engine bay in the last shot? lol
weird stuff.
they have a lot put in it but I don't know that i'd pay $5k for it.
That may just be me though, 92celicahalftrac would know a hell of a lot more about what it's worth.

Man, that's ridiculous. What would possess you to do something like that? A replacement CT26 is, what, $50?

I wouldn't pay a drop over 3 grand if I were actually interested. I'm not, though. That being said, realistically I wouldn't pay half that. 5 sacks is being a little optimistic.

I'd pay about $1000 for that car. Maybe. And that's only if he throws in every last part he's got listed there.

That thing is a major pile of berkeley.

The sad thing is i'm pretty sure i know who used to own that thing about 4-5 years ago. Doubtful it's the same owner now.

The amount of labor expended to end up with that confounds me. Even at minimum wage, that does not compute.

Glad to see they're tossing in the starting fluid.

Actually, it looks like they de-converted it. Look at the turbo, there is no intake housing. The intake tube also has no piping to the turbo. LIkely the turbo crapped out, and instead of replacing it properly they just "bypassed" it.

If you turn on the 4-way flashers on that car, they will spell out "C-R-U-S-H_M-E" in Morse Code. A final plea to die with dignity and end the suffering.
