This is Mike's car over here in the UK. The build of this car is amazing - the attention to detail is eye popping!!

Will be an exceptional piece of machinery when complete.

That is one incredible build.


There is nothing comparable to having the time or money to invest that kind of attention to detail to a project.

Incredible, Beautiful, and Amazing.

Thanks for the posting,

Ron

Any guesses? A $35k engine? More/less? $110/HP... ?

I'm betting 50 60K+ and another 15K+ for the trans.

I like that he add a HUGE amount of presentation and drama to the thread with the excellent pictures, well lit and with a dark background.

Reminds me of a museum.

Here's a hint: the high-butterfly throttle bodies are around $10k all by themselves...

10K + There was a set on E-bay a few months ago for 15K I don't know if they sold or not. I'd bet this engine parts and labor is pushing 30K. I've looked into those coatings on the engine as I want my 951 engine to last. Taint cheap by any means. I guarantee he has at least 1000.00 on the external block coating, and most likely has all of the internals coated with the appropriate coatings as well. $$$$$$$$

I'm just guessing but from the description, he's got 10K+ in the heads alone. A build at this level X10 normal costs.
