    To me this car illustrates the issue with selling modified cars. The mechanical mods are one thing, but it will take a very specific person to accept that paint job. A full red or blue would be a much easier sell. Seller probably trying to recoup his money..... although he actually might have more than $12K in it.

    Gotta agree....and a stroker motor with only 20 miles after assembly just screams of something being wrong. Who builds/paints a car like that and turns around and tries to sell it? Would have been less expensive and an easier sell to just overhaul the stock 302 and give it a solid paint job if selling was the original intent.

    Granted the paint job is not my cup of tea, but it looks like someone did take their time doing it right imho. The engine is another story. What parts were used? Condition of block ect ect. Only way to find out is look at it in person.
