    When I add up the usable parts I don't get near 5000. The shiny paint and the fact that it runs does not add a whole lot to the price FOR ME. Others may disagree.

    You know when I build a car I have a picture in my head of how it will look. This is proof that some don't have a picture in their head...At least that is what I am hoping here. I just can't imagine having that picture in my head. If I did EVER get that picture in my head I would go drink a bunch of booze to help me forget and make it go away.
    It kinda looks like a big ol scary yallar tractor.

    Yeah, I agree with all as said previously.

    I don't care to rag about others' projects. But it appears the asking price includes 'sentimental value' perhaps from the pleasure - and actual cost - of the build etc. In most cases that kind of value doesn't isn't considered by a potential buyer when considering a fair purchase price.

    Rightfully so, unless done by a well-known builder. This one obviously doens't fit that category.

    Dude claims it's a race car, but I gotta wonder where or how they got that through tech.

    I'd go $5500 if it included EVERYTHING in the listing.

    I don't see what's there to mumble about so much.
    It's quite easy to change the axles and wheels, swap a pair of not-hillarious headlights in there, and that's about it, rod like they should be.

    It sort of looks like a Sand drag car the way it sits.

    I made the mistake of going to the suggested website to see the so called "race history". All I have to say is, "Don't do it!"

    Close but Foose would have pimped the wheels a little more toward the shinier side.
