I have seen this car in the past:

Anyone on here involved in the build? Looks like a renegade car.

$40k just seems like a stretch.

Kent at Precision Chassis Works in Phoenix built the car, He does very nice work. It's probably what he has into the car; it’s been for sale for quite a few years now. It's probably one of the better done conversions. Someone will come along and want it.

Bet it would easily blow the doors off my 2.7 six conversion ! Just wouldn't sound as cool.

Yet he kept the old "901" set up w/ mechanical clutch.

Agree, although I think this was built before using the WRX trans became more common.

Bump for a well built beautiful car.

With no heat in an AZ car, wouldn't it be better to run the radiator hoses thru the longs? Those hoses and clamps must be 2" closer to the ground than the car. Seems like you would hide and protect those better.

For a bare body resto and quality parts, $40k is a fair price.

Not typically an issue. The hose ID is only about 1.5" and they suck into those channels a good 1/2" leaving only 1" lower. And its rubber so if you hit it it bounces back. I doubt it has or will ever hit the ground. Also if you go through the longs it comes out the inside of the cabin or you have to drill through the wheel wells. Not ideal and doesnt work very well. Method used on this car is the preferred method.

Good looking conversion, I hope he gets 35k for it!
