Default Anybody know this car??

Anybody know this car? I'm considering purchasing it. It's belongs to a man who used to own a shop in the DFW area. Suppose to be a turnkey mid-6 on motor in the 1/8th, mid-5's on bottle. I've just about made up my mind to get it... just want to get some feedback.

I don't know the car but I would assume it will run what he says the car is probably light since it has a speed glass windshield. That and the car looks to have had the time put into it. What are the specs on the car ie. engine ,trans race weight. And what are you going to pay for the car. You may find a better deal on here.

I'd rather not talk about pricing and specifics... just wondering if there was anyone out that that actually was familiar with this car. It's definately a car with good pcs on it, and well worth the money that I'd have to pay for it.

What is he asking for the car?
I am in DFW and know the car somewhat.

The reason that I ask: I am thinking about selling my car and it runs the same times as above, but is streetable and is much heavier.

He's asking 15k for it. He's got an ad on RJ. A few details are:
9" w/ alum 3rd mem
Cert to 8.50
2 kits w/ nano (1 direct port and 1 plate)
Accufab TB
glide with brake
weld magnums
mini-tub
percy's front glass and back hatch

I've decided not to get it. I'd really prefer a car that I can take out on the road now and then.

Thank you.
Seems like a pretty good deal for what the car is.

Damn. I should just bought it before dumping all a load of $$$ in my 99 SS. I would come out way cheaper.

What's stopping ya from taking it out on the road now and then?

It's a pheonominal deal for someone to jump on if they're considering building one themselves. Theres probably 5-6k in just the rear end and tires/wheels. I should probably go ahead and buy it.... but, I guess I just have to see the orange car thru to completion. If I get the wife to just give me 15k more to spend on it, all would be good.
