I like it, but why no information such as wheel/tire size....etc, etc..???

Posted by: J P Stein Mar 25 2004, 03:41 PM

Has anybody ever heard of a 350 chebbie that *didn't* have 400 hp?

Cool... dueling radiators.
Another cruiser
Looks pretty gud, tho.

Do you think it would have be difficult for him to include his location...kinda helps a bit when buying a car.

Other than that, it looks nice!

I dig it! Check out the rear swaybar. It appears the drop links are disconected, but the placement is kind of cool.

I know I have seen pics of this car before... cant place where though.

Good thing it's fuel injected - it makes it worth a lot more.......

Posted by: ArtechnikA Mar 25 2004, 03:53 PM

stock fenders, only a few options that fit, none of which make much sense.

i guess ya just hafta be invited into the inner circle to get the details - like what kind of transmission are we talking about...

i especially like how it's located in "overnight delivery, USA" ...

and these options:

Options
Power Locks Convertible Leather Seats Power Windows
Driver Airbag ABS Passenger Airbag Power Seats
Cruise Control CD Player Sunroof

ok - the CD player is plausible...

Nice.

Has this car been advertised before? It seems very familiar to me.

Come to think about it, I think I saw it on the Bay about a year ago. J

Posted by: Mueller Mar 25 2004, 04:05 PM

might be an illusion, but the rears appear to be easily 2 inches wider than stock

If you lose the ugly ass tail, it's a nice looking car. I'm not real fond of the battery in the passenger footwell, but at least it's an Optima

Can anyone make out the plate state. I'm drawing a blank for some reason:

Posted by: Aaron Cox Mar 25 2004, 04:13 PM

i think the plate is utah....i like it...and have seen it before

Posted by: Ferg Mar 25 2004, 04:22 PM

It was in michigan, and it still has michigan plates.
It has been for sale for a while and was on ebay before, I remember the seller wanting low to mid twenty's last time it was for sale.

I like it besides the rear wing. If I had a z28 or mustang, I would prolly trade him.

Ferg

also, alot of these "pre-approved" buyer auctions are turning out to be scams. they want a deposit before they apporove you to bid be careful.

I'm not saying this one is not legit, but it is becoming a problem.

I like that one MUCH better Strat! very slick!

I'm not a huge fan of body kits... but damn!

Posted by: jd74914 Mar 25 2004, 05:00 PM

I like that one two.

Hey, anyone notice the Shelby Cobra in the garage?

Posted by: rick 918-S Mar 25 2004, 05:19 PM

The silver car doesn't have a reserve....

Posted by: East coaster Mar 25 2004, 05:30 PM

Wonder if the headlights are functional, there's no head light motors?? Maybe cable lift like a GT??

Posted by: dakotaewing Mar 27 2004, 12:01 AM

Does anyone on the board know any details on the silver car?
I emailed the seller 36 hours ago and have received no response.... I asked details about the car as well as "how to become a pre-approved bidder..." I am definitely interested in the car, but the lack of a response does not thrill me... No one at this
point has bid on the car as well....

What type of rims does the silver car have on.

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 27 2004, 08:29 AM

at around 5k and no bids the owner of the silver car must pulling his hair out. no reply? craig probably has this one buttoned up.

kevin

Posted by: seanery Mar 27 2004, 08:39 AM

my guess is its a scam of sorts. Otherwise Thom would have heard back from the guy.

Posted by: ss6 Mar 27 2004, 09:00 AM

Silver car: if you stare at the pic in Seanery's reply long enough, it looks like the rear fenders have been modified. The reflection just aft of the wheel does not look "stock", and the top of the fender looks "fatter" also. The wheel dishes appear to be Fuchs, and they are definitely deeper than 6's, I'd guess 8's.

More on Silver car. Looks good to me, but that 2.7 is a zinger.http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/5/8/61301658.htm

Posted by: dakotaewing Mar 27 2004, 11:02 AM

Howard,
Do you know how long ago that ad on the silver car was posted?
Kevin, I sent both you and Craig an email - I'd love to hear what you have
to say...

Thom

Posted by: Howard Mar 27 2004, 12:19 PM

Thom, ad says 12/03. BTW black car is there also, along with almost all the teeners that are listed on eBay. http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/0/0/67414100.htm

Hi Guys,
The car has been adveritzed a few times (locally & more). The owner is in Lansing, MI & I called him about details last summer. If I remember correctely it was purchased (when he was flush with $) & built in CA by a reputable shop. The car has lots of good stuff, but not very street-able. I didn't look at it for that reason & I didn't like the tapered front fender without the parking lights. He was asking in the Mid 20's or I think maybe $27M. He probably wants to move the car now & ready to haggle. If I were to offer a $ it would be about $15, but I am not interested in someone else's buildup. You have to really like it. If anyone is really interested we can get it looked at by me or one of the SMOG guys.

Thomas,
Thanks for the update -
Why did you feel the car was not very streetable? Any other details regarding the
buildup nwould appreciated -PM if you like -
Thom

Posted by: Thomas J Bliznik Mar 27 2004, 01:01 PM

Thom,
What I mean by streetable. The motor was highly modified along with everything else. It is more of a track car. I was thinking about something to drive on the street. You know looking good, air conditioning & comforts of a bxstr. What am I saying!!! I need a boxster!! No I need a 914 with a chevy motor, auto trans., air, power windows, sound system, Oh my gosh that's my future project!!!!!!
Tom

It looks like the owner pulled the ebay listing... "Auction ended due listing error"
