Interesting, not too sure if I like it. It says that it's an '84, but somebody has added a 3rd eye brakelight

Isn't the Doug Nash the 4+3? Hows that work with a Hurst 5 speed shifter?

With the rebuild title I'm a bit pessimistic about it being the one from the magazine. Who knows though, may be.

Regardless, I would still have trouble buying from a 0 feedback seller.

I wouldn't say it looks bad, different though. It has a sinister look that someone will probably like.

It's glorified?

Actually, loose the wing, it's not the worst thing I've seen.
