Well, he def. has more than 15k into the car.
but since, modified cars don't sell very often, it is hard to gauge. My guess is, this car won't sell at that price for months, and come the end of summer, you could offer him $8k and take the car. |

Yeah, it's definatly not a 15k car unless it was pristene more so than the pictures convey, and was faster than even that engine can produce with TPI... though the giggle juice would help.
Just my .02
I'd go with the $8-9k figure. |

15K and stock manifolds? Yikes. Clean car though, just too gaudy for me.

I DO like however his low-mount alternator relo. That looks really clean! I need to find that bracket!
I DID NOT like that he chromed the suspension components (steering, pitman, transfer, panhard, etc.) because I've heard that the chroming process can break down the structural part of the metal, weakening it. The LAST thing you want to do to your suspension!
The exhaust routing and the whole rearend treatment is very nicely done though. You can definitely tell that some quality time was invested, not just slapped together and posted for sale.
Overall a nice job, but not worth $55k IMO!

Farshizzy,
What is the status on your latest purchase that was being retrieved by Mark? Haven't seen/heard much.
That camaro has some interesting features. Anyone notice the rear suspension?
I agree 55k = lol
-but-
Ya just gotta love a blower sticking through the hood

If you don't plan on turning it is a great suspension setup. 
If I was dropping that kind of money on rear suspension, I would have gone with some sort of 4 link, with more adjustability than the ladderbars give you, with the 4link you could dial-in TONS of anti-squat. |

Ditto.
I could never shell out an extreme amount of money so to end up with a car that can only go straight.
And TWEED for interior... Wow.
