hey,
it's not little...it just needs some miracle grow. with all those looks and nothing to back it up....i'm sure on a rainy day that car would have trouble peeling out..

the guy prolly blew up the real motor and is trying to sell it "running" as compared to a rolling chassis...could be wrong though.

thats what I was thinking too. Unless he just didnt finish the car but you would think he would build motor first. Im figuring he blew the other motor.

Yeah sounds like he either took the engine he had in it out and put the original in to sell it and use that engine for another car, or blew the engine he had in it.

Regardless of how much power the engine makes, you have to admire the nice work of the tubbing in the rear.

damn i would buy that in a heatrt beat. the only thing i would change is the engine and tranny and go have fun at the track, or if it was some how street legal go play withthe ricers or 2003 stangs and z06's.

but the foglights came with the z28's in 91-92 and i think before that they only came on the iroc or iroc-z's

My 5 educated guesses........ [list=1][*]He blew the motor and put a new one in it.....[*]He ran out of money......and couldn't finish it......[*]The WIFE got a hold of the "secret project" in the shed and put an end to it......[*]He took the engine and put it in another car....[*]He thought it was a fast and good engine........The problem was that the car was too heavy.......[/list=1]

Maybe he was tring to get rid of weight!!! Nice car but I think he wants to sell it as a running car. I don't think that a car like that would have just a stock 305. Little high in the price but none the less a nice car.
