Default Very Nice Custom Job

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...gory=6168&rd=1

I really..really like this car. It's well done and built for speed. Don't know the reserve but right now the price is right. I'd give him near 15k if I had it. Could easily add rear bumpers if U wanted.

Title states "rebuilt". I guess this means the car was hit hard enough to have been totalled?

Don't know, the title is a "rebuilt" title, I think I'd avoid it myself as it looks to be pulling top dollar. Sure, the work could be excellent, but for the money and the fact that it's no longer a chrome bumper car, there are better candidates out there...

At first glance I didn't like it. Looking at the other pictures changed my mind. Looks like some dough was spent under the hood and I like the side view of the car. Definitely would have the chrome bumpers put back on. As far as the price goes, I think I would top out at the $10,000 range. Looks like it would be one hell of a fun ride for 10g's

I was tooling around ebay and came across this car too. It looks pretty good, I like the seats, but its a shame to drop the 80 clip, on the nose. The car looks off somehow. Too small of a rear? :chevy
