looks pretty awesome to me. It'll probably have it's issues, but that's half the fun of having a car like this! Especially at a good price!

Buying a used car on Ebay. What are the conditions of the sale? Are you able to pull out of sale if the car fails an inspection?

I'm talking about when you check it out first hand and it's a piece of sheet.

That one looks even better than the "ZX351" from a few years ago! Good luck with it and I hope it works out for you.

you can for sure back out if you think its not worth it. I would suggest you ask any and all questions you may have before you bid or bid any more? Is it a daily driver? How many miles have they put on it since its transformation. Does it drive straight down the road. How ar ethe tires. Do they have any youtube vids of it running..........
No its not stupid to bid on ebay cars at all they usally sell for under market value. Best of luck and have fun

It might be a blast - or a repair headache. Cause its prob been run hard with the nitrous many a run. Sure would be nice to have a compression check.

I bought a "good deal" Olds 442 back in the day. That blew up in 6 mos.
Instead of chasin' honey's as a freshman in college, I was learning to rebuild a V8 - in a carport - in the winter.

"sleeper" is right! Though to be honest, if you're going to build a sleeper, should you paint the word "sleeper" on it?
