:yesnod: Absolutely.... it must be on the virge of self-destruction or something. The LPE 383 runs around 11.6, that 175 shot is the killer to get to 10.4.

Not many people want a car that does 10.4's because people think the car has been abused to get there. I wouldn't buy a car that was modified because you know the owner drove fast and hard. That car is beyond modified. :eek: But a good price none the less.

I am sure a Ling 383 motor costs more than 11K. This has got to be a misprint or the motor is shot.
Maybe one of our Texas members can check this car out.

Everyone wants to buy a cherry that was driven by a little old lady so they can take it to the drag strip and beat the hell out of it. :yesnod:

yeah, what black bart said.. ha ha.. like you can beat on a car any more carefully than the previous owner! i'd much rather buy a well tuned race car than a garage queen.. i bet it's in better shape mechanically..

Re: Something is wrong with this, WAY too cheap. (jimbjr)
OK- I called the owner, (Free long distance here in TX with my cell phone) and apparently there is a mis-print in the ad. He DOES want $11,000 for it, but it's actually an 85 with a 96 conversion body kit with recent paint. He said it is a Lingenfelter, and he's not happy with the listing because of the misspellings and etc., and encouraged me to post this info here. You H-town guys outa go check it out....
