Check out this Corvette. This is one of the nicest jobs that I've seen. Don't have the money to throw at it but I bet it's one heck of a ride.

For all that money, you would have thought that they could have done a better job with the exhaust coming out of the body. The welds aren't even ground smooth. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it's worth that kind of money or nearly as clean as it should be to ask for that.

The BFG drag radials look to be "tested" as well.

I looked at it at sema. I found a cuple things odd....
1. Why build a 1200 turbo bbc with a dana 44?
2. Why build a 1200 hp bbc with 18 inch low profile wheels/tires....(probably does great burnouts)
3. It didnt appear the be able to put air cleaners on the turbos. The turbos were down next to the block pan, and it appeared to have the inlets well blocked by other stuff. Maybe they figured out a way, but it had no filters at all onthe turbos at the show.

I think he's hoping for someone from the elite "More Money Than Brains" club to check it out and say "I HAVE TO HAVE IT..............click".
I'd put it up for sale for an outrageous price too, you can always come down.

the rear tie rods are to keep the spindles strait. The rear uses a knuckle just like the front with two ball joints.
The car is badass, and I bet it cost close to that much to build that car. Everything on the car has been customized. There is probably a months worth of exhaust work on that car.

The ****!! All that and A/C. From the looks of those BFG's, they did a thorough shake down! I worked at Al Knock Corvette Interiors back in the early 80's and saw some nice cars come through. This one take the cake.
They ebay poster responded they are brand new "drag radial" tires that are "supposed" to be like that
Lol okay buddy.
I also thought the exhaust could be done better, as well as the interior
