    Nothing irritates me more than a hole cut in a Grabber hood...

    I think I have seen that car on there before. Seems like it was around a year ago. In fact, I believe that it was the exact same pictures and everything........I could be wrong though. I'd sure like to have it regardless!!!! Preston

    IF I had the time, money and room for another toy that would be a nice addition to the collection!

    It was for sale a while back, and you are right, same pics. I had saved them.

    It does look like a nice job.

    It was on Craigslist

    It was posted for sale on "craigslist" in the San Francisco Bay Area page for sale earlier this week . I just checked and it is gone. It was the same pictures, I think the price was $12,000.

    Is it just me?
    IMO 377 hp sounds very low for such flash and such a high price.
    I saw it somewhere online the other day for 12k.
    He could tone the engine down a little and still pull more hp with the 'right' parts.

    If I am not mistaken I thought I had seen that car in a magazine in the 80's. I like the car with the exception of the tunnel ram and hole cut in the grabber hood:slap: . The paint job sure is a cue to late 80's or early 90's style. $12K for an older pro-street with leaf springs may be a little steep for most of us but compared to most cars like it (pro street style), it is probably not that far out of line. I would buy it for a daily driver Pro-Street if there is such a thing. But then again that would be if I had a spare $12K to spend.:rolleyes:

    I remember the car from a mag too. I noticed the car when the auction first went online. Wondered what kind of reaction the board would give it. Seller name is proof that idiots exist even in Mav/com people. And cutting holes in a grabber hood should be the 11th commandment, thou shalt not cut holes in grabber hoods.

    Before or after they stopped featuring topless models (yes, I'm that "old")?...
