Car that Bobby Smith once owned. Quite fast. (him too!)
Former PCA Parade FTD winner. His ex-914 2.8 FAT was truly quick.
Many Auto-X victories in it.

Check the driving link he posted on the auction.

I was surprised how cheap that went

The rear fenders were cut too high on that, looks weird...

Maybe the back end is just sitting too high. There’s a lot of forward rake.

That car was on a lift when my first corner bal was done at Fordahl’s. FG flares iirc. There was a ton of money invested in that car.

It does look like the rear is sitting too high.
They are right, you could not build that car for that price. They are expensive toys in that configuration.

Don’t really see how $65 k for conversion is great price.
For seller for sure.
Just sayin…

Always been more expensive to build than buy finished product.

I was a bidder until around 50k, nice car.

The FG flares had to be trimmed because I was running 275/35-15 Hoosiers on 9" wheels in the rear and 245's on 8" wheels in the front.
