Hi,
I guess there is still hope that it might be an original side exhaust car.
That at least would one reason to take this project on!

I would not have gone that route, but the workmanship looks to be reasonably good.

I was going to say the same thing, but I had to run to the head, because it almost came out of my mouth...

When finished, they can be quite stunning...and lets face it, if there was NO Mako Shark, you'd be driving something else...

Sometimes, a person's ambition is just a little bit bigger than their stick-to-it-iveness. And then you get what we have here. A half-done project that nobody wants. You'd have to be made of stone not to be just a little saddened by it. Think about this car when you are making your big, grandiose, body-off dreams.......think about the possible consequences.



Keep the shiny side up!

At the current asking price, no one is going to take it over and finish it (as a Mako or Stingray). For about half that, you'd get my interest.

It could be saved! All it needs is a decent price tag.
