other than the paint and body, it looks like it was put together by apes....

Don't foget the $13,800 price tag not to include shipping costs! I like the car, I think the price is fair, so long as you can verify that the parts are all indeed what they are as stated...(i.e. reciepts,pictures, you or someone taking it apart) but, most items should be able to be verfied pretty easily.

One thing that caught my eye, but it's really hard to tell given the picture quality, is the fact that it still has rear drums?!?!?!?!?!?!? Why someone would invest a decent amount of aftermarket parts and neglect braking power is beyond me. (Seems to be a common issue) But 5 lug with drums...wow!

It also seems that they neglected to detail the amount of mileage on at least the chassis, or the motor, these two items would be very helpful in determining the price worthiness.

That being said, for that price, you could purchase a nice 93' cobra!

And the front driver side fender moulding has a scratch in it! LOL!

BTW: that's only a few grand shy of what it would take to sell my low mileage 93 cobra for. Comes with original motor and tranny, as well as the dart 347 turbo, tko600 that's in it!!! But it will stay with me a year or two longer.

yeah i noticed more the crappy black paint in the engine bay, IAC valve, poorly taped wires running through and the "hanging" coolant bottle, Not to mention the misfit switch panels and "93" year model tint...

p.s, looks like they used 94-98 front brakes along with those drums.... its a pretty package but i do believe it is only skin deep.

Decent looking car but you could probably build something similar or better for cheaper.

Well said, $7500-$8500 tops is what I was thinking ,including shipping and taxes to your door.
