I am sure it is a quick car but it still seems like a bit much. Not to mention that it looks like a bumble bee.

It doesn't really have a good enough description or interior/engine bay shots.

I would say hes asking to much

From his very brief description he's about very high. Not to mention the 347 is not the greatest choice of engine. They have great performance but not so great of a lifespan.

He really doesn't give much of an explanation to what was done to the car and not to mention no pics of the engine compartment and door jams to see how well the new paint job eas done.

Looks like he has a nice set of Weld wheels on it though, I will give him that. But still the price seems outragious.

Looks nice, but 14-year-old car is not worth that much. Unless it have something really special under the hood.

Those issues seem to have been worked out in recent years. Paul's Automotive Engineering here in Cincinnati builds strong/stout 347s without any problems. (As do many other engine builders.)

I am sure he has spent a lot but in today's market he would be lucky to see $7500-$8500 for it.....and it is going to have to be WELL done as far as work and mods. Yellow is going to limit his market even further as not everyone likes yellow. There is a butt for every seat but they can be hard to impossible to find.

it looks pretty clean. i doubt he will get it. but i never thought we would see a 5 million dollar hemi cuda either. thats the only bad thing about building a car and getting rid of it. you spend so much money and you lose most of it

hey jason, nice burnout pic !

as Jason said, the 347 is a good motor and most issues havebeen worked out, my uncle is running a 93 lx notch with a 347 and a tremec 5 speed, he drives it everyday and it runs 11s on motor and 10s on spray.

I would agree, the car's paint scheme is probably the most limiting factor if the car is otherwise in decent shape. Overall, the car is overpriced. It would have to SPECTACULAR to be worth that amount.

He says "347 stroker motor, low compression" I don't know much about 347 strokers but do they really have low compression?

347 can have any compression you want to build in it. I built mine low ~8.5 to run supercharger.
