Pretty obvious she's not a HO. Even though she looks gear and could easily play the part.
Lots of goodies, otherwise, but a clear case of not doing homework first.
The rest of the mods look nice, but the base powertrain is akin to an "all show, slow go" machine.
In other news, seems the majority of BAT listings are flippers, looking for a quick turn.

World of difference in 155HP this car actually has and the 200HP they claim. Still a very nice car I expect it will fetch 6k. Great car for an engine transplant. I bought mine because it was a clean example and I intend to build my own engine later on I always do.

I started with an ultra clean 85 Z28 LG4 5 speed and sweetened her up a bit.

Re: Don't call her a HO, even if she looks sultry!!
These cars and all the 3rd gens are going up fast in price for complete clean cars not ripped apart.. 6K LOL! 12k was correct for what it sold for.. Around here 6K gets you a ragged out car needing everything redone with 180K miles on it. Of course there are $2500 cars sitting around that are worn out,yanked apart, rusted with leaves under the hood and missing parts. Good complete hard top cars are getting really hard to find....

That car has been worked over. Undesireable base car to begin with, doesn't appear that it was even a WS6 car. I find the mileage hard to believe too. For that kind of mileage, I would expect factory hoses, factory hose clamps, and not nearly as much crud on the A/C compressor and lines. Looks a lot more like 112k miles with a repaint, complete overhaul, and a bunch of restoration parts.
Nice, but sold high as a collector car.

Note there was no actual claim that the mileage was actual, only showing on odo. Nice looking car with some decent mods too, and a California rust free car too I'd suspect. Good car at a good price for buyer and seller in my book.

Re: Don't call her a HO, even if she looks sultry!!
I agree 12K was a fair price! Nice ones are going up and in my area selling fast compared to 2 years ago. 6K is way to low.. especially for a solid hardtop car. The key is complete and not hacked up to get the money. I would pay 12K for that car! It has some nice parts and its all there and very clean and ready to drive. Just like Drew's car its complete and nice.
