I like how he says the engine is a $25,000 rebuild. Someone's smoking crack. A 500 hp engine at that price is crazy. Even if someone had it built it isn't gonna cost half of that for the engine. :(:no::(

Lol I would check the body work

Frame off resto hmmm

It's a coupe so we know the guy doesn't know what he talking about :poke:
Those wheels are hideous,restomod with early 80's style wheels..:no:
no WAY he'll get that amount...









not without POSTS he won't! :no: :stir:
Yup - 400 miles sense the restoration and only 270 on the rebuilt motor??? finished it and then blew the motor up??

:no::no::no::no::no::no::no::no::no:
There's no way he will get this price. Come on....spent $135,000 on a restore?? No f-ing way. Then he's will to take a loss at $75,000? Something is wrong here. Who agrees??? Lame.....
Looks like a very nice car......

I will say that his asking price is just way out of line with what the market (at any point) will bare.

As far as the motor. I am amazed that someone would put a $20 air cleaner on a $25K motor in a $135K car.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Did hey say $75,000 HOLY COW!! CAN YOU SAY CRAZY!!
That sure is a lot of cash for this Nova. But everything has a price and if this guy holds on to it long enough, a fool and his money will soon part!!!

:ragtop:
For that price, I want the master cylinder painted! Not rusted.
NICE RIDE, I'D GO $25K -$30K DEPENDING ON SUSPENSION, BRAKES AND A FLAWLESS BODY :yes:
Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, Just one more thing, I can see how the price would climb, but not to $135K, a $20 air cleaner on a $25K motor - priceless!:eek::eek:
Chip Foose could build that car at a price that still wouldn't add up to $135K!
I think shes a beauty! But the guy is on some highly concentrated drugs! Ive never understood, why guys will dump thousands and thousands into a project, make it super clean, and jump it off a month or two later wth?:confused:

As for the $75, throw another two or three of those novas in there and maybe were talkin.

I don't think so:no::no: if you were to write a check for a complete build you'd be amazed at what it would cost:eek::yes:
I'll bet the NASCAR rear end is an absolute pleasure to drive on the street! I wonder do you have to make three left turns to go right? Next we're going to hear that the car is equipped with an IRL spoiler. Maybe its got a Top Fuel radiator too... I hate seeing people post things that they know nothing about and pricing these things in some dream world... Why not have one of the big auction houses sell it if its such a rare one off car?
I actually like the car myself, just ridiculous on the price. I almost emailed him to tell him I would be interested in building his next 500-550 hp engine, but I would only charge him $20,000 so he could save $5000.
Well you forget the market. The car was waxed with the oils of a rare animal. The engine was hand cast out of platinum.. The windows are hand made crystal.

Us gentlemen with our tall hats and long cigarettes would be most interested.

:rotfl:

I was try'n to think of what 2009 standard that carburetor was from cause I didn't see any EFI rails and didn't even noticed the air cleaner. :rotfl: That is pretty funny.

Must have a pulley on the yoke to run the oil pump.
