Strange routing of the throttle cable. I'd like to see what's under the pastic covers for fuel line routing. Normally the fuel line goes through the opening in the driver side cover. I'm not sure if I like the seats or not. They don't look like they are overly supportive. The rest of the car looks nice.

Very nice!! I like the LS platform. I think you got the best of classic and modern. What rear gearing are you using, and fuel economy?

Nice job and inspirational. Now for more money

Not too bad. Cant beech about an LS motor in a C3!!

I think the motor swap could have been done cleaner, meaning more $$$, and the asking price is too high, so the car has been on the chopping block for a long time. The C4 seats & color are also out of place on that car.

My first guess was the Kalifornia smog police have forced this car to be put up for sale. That my guess until I read the add. Oh well. Probably would be nice to see in person though.
