Seems like an extraordinarily great price to me - yes, there are things I would change, but let's face it, there's a huge amount of work that's gone into it already, and precious little needed to get it on the road!!

Heck, my used engine & my shocks cost almost that much....

Man I am glad your a long ways from me! GLWS

Sent you an email!!

Set of Webers, fuel cell, different tail lights, suspension tweak and drive it like ya stole it!
I'm surprised this is still available.
Of course I don't think you could be further away from me and still be in the U.S.!
Good luck with it.

There were some compromises during fabrication......

Remember that the car entered the GRM 2005 Challenge with submitted expenditure of $1993.03. Largest cost item was $338 for tubing, next was $291 for the donor BMW, third was $226 for aluminum sheet.

I have a showing on Sunday and another promised if the first one passes on it. It will likely be gone next week. Will be selling more cars. If I don't use them, they're going to go.

If I didn't live about a googlepoopillion miles away, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat!!

No kidding...Although you might have had a fight on your hands to get it.

Car is gone. It moved about 20 miles south.

Congrats on the sale. Good thing for me it was gone before I got back from China. Another trip to PA would've put me in the doghouse.
