I think I now want to gouge my eyes out... 10k...yeah right...like $100 for parts...that's 45 seconds that I'll never get back...my car might not be the prettiest thing on 4 wheels, but at least I am keeping the OB as original as I can... says it's a 78...shame.

As much as it would pain me, would be interesting to see some better pics of the polished aluminum panels. It does have a certain delorean-esque quality with all the tack-ons. No, I don't mean that as a compliment. Wonder whats up with the rewelded intake runners. Also why there are no pics of the interior? ;-) nah, acutally I don't.
No WUR, good thing it is in AZ, I guess.

Wait..that's close to the worst? Where have you been hanging out?

"500 to 800 usd" = I think that is his local shipping costs.


All his uploaded You Tube videos.

IMO, the body wouldn't look too bad if all parts (nose, rear, back quarters and roof) could all be polished alum.....Did I just type that?....

I haven't seen that setup in a while......

The carb on top of the stock plenum is actually an interesting idea. Retains the stock characteristics of the original intake, which is usually the worst part of a carb conversion.......besides the *** backwards idea of going to a carburetor in the first place.

This would only make sense to me if today was April 1. My dunkin donuts coffee is curdling in my stomach and my teeth hurt. Why am I sure there is a big fart pipe hanging out below the rear bumper?

At least he can tell his friends he has a $10,000 " Porch " !! The rims are just standard early 911/944 offsets which stick out way too far. The exhaust is probably just cut off with two turn downs in front of the rear axles for the correct Hot Rod sound.
Hope he is having fun ! Because I think he is going to own this thing for a long time.
