Dunno, that's a kind of a high price, I could build it myself for cheaper (or so I like to think) and have more fun that way.

 

That steering wheel is truly catastrophic, also.

 

If it was 2 grand and I was looking for a new one... definitely. Maybe a bit more.

yeah that steering wheel is ugly in that color, i have the same one but in black and it looks wayyy better... i think it's worth it... he's probably got about that into the drivetrain alone, and it doesn't looked hacked together...

Whomever cobbled the description up asked for input to improve it. Here's the humble constructive criticism I sent him (or her):

 

Instead of the semi-clever quip description that really tells me nothing except that the engine is not stock, how 'bout putting some tech detail in it. Such as:

 

1. Toledo - Rust Belt Maximus. Sure would like to see some under carriage pics. How many gallons of Bondo in it? A vid of a magnet test would be nice, unless it falls of every other inch......

2. SBC V8s (or any other V8) in an XJ/MJ engine compartment never run cool. Simply not enough real estate under there for proper airflow. They usually boil over in a 1/4 mile run down the strip. What's been done above and beyond to cool it besides the hideous cowl hood?

3. Yeah, leaving the cluth pedal in there w. the auto tranny was tres gauche. Makes you wonder what other careless less obvious shortcuts were performed.

4. A little info on what diff, tranny, suspension, steering, brakes, etc. would be nice. I wouldn't consider ANY modified vehicle w/o detailed tech specs.

 

HTH, Don

 

I tried to be nice...........really. :D
