Looks like a car I saw on CL for 30K a few weeks ago,
I have no idea why makos seem to be listed for and actually fetch more than other basket case custom or stock models do.

I would not be at all surprised if the BIN price is jumped on.
And it seems the buyers of these do not care at all if the frames and BC are Swiss cheese.

Besides not taking advantage of spell check the seller is doing a lot of "motion" spewing but without the documentation it's "just" another custom, even if the parts were bought from motion so what you can still buy the mako and other motion parts all over the net, ebay and CL.

But yeah, don't worry too much someone will jump on this one...

If I had the time/money/inclination, I might bite for the $10K. I figure I'd have at least close to 5 or 6 sourcing the front and rear clips (unless you were running a special, Paul :-)), and sourcing a base car to start with in my area would be close to $4K even with that mileage.

Rick,
5-6K I hope not, I don't sell the stuff so can't offer specials but I do see it listed out there for 2500.00 for a new kit.....
