Ignore the silly price . This would be such a neat car if finished right. Love the look of it. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/3407799383.html

That is very sweet. I'd put the side hood panels on, change the wheels and it'd be sweet. But yeah, he's clearly one that thinks you can add up all the receipts you have for an unfinished project and get 100% of that back. Sorry fella, that doesn't happen.

I could live with the wheels, just put some tires on them that look a little more vintage. Lose the white lettering at least.

If I owned that kind of car, I'd just have to hire a tattooed rockabilly/goth girl to drive my kids around in it.

Neat car. I agree the wheels need to go. It's not the style, but the offset. It would look better if the front wheels weren't poking past the fenders.

The interior... Gut and start over...

+1 on the tatooed rockabilly high girl...

Saw that and started immediately thinking of exotic engines to put in there. Jag V12? New Coyote? Old aluminum straight 6 with sidedraft carbs? A carbed LSx? Carbed Coyote? Opions abound... That car just needs some finishing touches to make it awesome!

I think S54 with polished valve covers would be a cool engine, Conquest

my spare GTA wheels would look pretty bitchin on that car, and it needs a twin turbo LS engine under the hood- complete with all the efi sorcery that makes them so awesome- and door panels made out of something that isn't plywood.

I'd start over with the whole floor and firewall. It's all made out of 10gauge steel ! Just a bit of overkill and makes me wonder if that's so he could weld it himself .

Needs more T56, besides that I'd drive it every day!

Yeah, that's what I didn't say. Wires are fine, steel discs would be cool as well. But yeah, on that car, keep the rubber in the fenders.
