actually the body and paint look killer, the guy messed up the car , a used up motor, sat for years, my point is the guy is no good! dont deal with him, wouldnt be suprised if there are other thing not known about what he did to the car. if anyone wants to buy, i can care less! i posted this for others to beware of this seller.

Hey Joe, yea thats mine. I sure miss it. To afx, I was just wondering if you have seen it. I did all the work on that car including the paint, but not that engine and trans. He bought the rolling chassis from me about 3 or 4 years ago. I had it running mid 12's with a mild 455 in it. I just want to let people know that the rolling chassis it's not junk. He was a good buyer, I dont about a seller, but I would buy it back right now if I had the cash. It really make me a little sad, I had a lot of time in that car. P.S thats me in it doing a nice burnout at the local strip.

yes duke it does look like a killer car body and paint wise, suspention ect i talked to the guy numerous times, i had the trailer all loaded up , money , all ready to go , but everytime i called him he had a different story about whats wrong with it, and the shaker is not mounted nither is the steering box, said it was my problem being the buyer. just too many thing wrong for me to buy it for that money, im looking for more of a turn key car. then when i backed out he went off on me like a fake tough guy, lol thats funny, wife is still begging me not to go up there and .............. ill leave that part out! too bad that car ended up in his hands i woulda bought it in a minute! good car but guys a @#$%

[duke455]

sorry about the guy being an A--. I dont know why he cant mount the shaker other then a junk holly being on top. I gave him the the complete air cleaner assy. for that shaker. thanks for the complements. If I get a chance I will post some pics of when I built it. take care and good luck on finding something. Mike

If you don't mind posting, about how much did you sell the car for? Is it anywhere near what he is?
