This one will start some discussion I am sure. Rare and good pedigree. I want to like it, but I keep thinking 1969 Firebird with really bad fit and finish....

that is very interesting.

I am not impressed with the lack of real detail. the interior, for example, is really lacking. I woulda expected more trim improvements, not just a stick on console covering... and the fuel rail covers are weak... I woulda shot them in gloss black, yellowed in CORVETTE and then added the Lister/Vortech logos.

The body looks neat... I will give them that. I actually like the body work.

Interesting body kit/paint scheme, but hardly $40k worth of it.

But to each his own

Did anyone else notice that HEI coil cover near the throttle position sensor? The ad did say something about an MSD ignition system. If I had an LT motor, I would definitely look into that ignition setup. I really like the LT motors except for that Opticrap. There is definitely something special about that coil setup in that car.

a coil is a coil. the key here would be doing something to remove the high voltage. the optical part is fine... really...
