I find the wheel position in the fenders to be...most disturbing.

$250,000 car, my ***.

Let's see - salvage title, no engine (but build started), no engine pics. Sign me up!

This almost sounds like one of those Nigerian schemes that I see in my junk mail folder.

Looks like 1500hp to me - not.

Yawn - Love Gembella wheels, but never been a fan of their car mods - too blingy for me.

Why is the back of the car sitting uneven? Did gembala really replace the headlights like that? I cant tell what is cheezy aftermarket or legit modified? Doesnt the front of that car remind you of a mitsubishi eclipse?

I think the back end is high because there's no engine in it. Whenever I see something like this I always wonder why people cheese the hell out of these cars. Those headlights are scary.

Even photoshoppers have a code of ethics that wouldn't allow that

This is the way the "extremo" version of the Gemballa mod looks. Why this seller (and this is at least his second, or more, go at selling on eBay) does not disclose more is beyond me. The H.P gains are possible with Gemballa tweaking, but it is odd that the "fuel distribution" system is not installed and still cost an additional $11K. Is that above the selling price? Also, from the images there does not appear to be an engine, nor an exhaust system in that car.
I've worked with Heinz before, and found him to be completly honest - I'd be interested to hear his take on this car.

This new motor may explain the rear end height ...

What's with the salvage title?

That must have been some whack to the rear fender. This smells a little too much like the NJ shore to me.
