That's plain out crazy. I was just looking at 4th gen LS1 car values and people are selling them on auto trader, even the high mileage cars were going for $8k-$9k. Still with everything that car is missing it's only worth about a grand or two.

I wouldn't buy it regardless of price...it's got Ronnie Duke bad karma!

I'm curious as to why the rear wheel well openings weren't stretched when they tubbed it.

There isn't much left that can't come with the car from looking at the photo. That gives new meaning to "project car".

"Check it out on the web" and "hasn't seen salt or snow" both crack me up! That car has never been finished to even be found on a dragstrip. Therefore, I doubt you'll find any pics of it on the web. Most of the factory floor is gone because of the four-link, and what's left looks pretty rusty on top. I'd say it would be pretty hard to tell whether or not that car was ever on a salt-covered and/or snowy road.

I'm leaning more towards project car that either the owner got bored with, has to sell because of a divorce or ran out of money. Ronnie Duke turned out to be a crook, but at least his cars were way more presentable.

The seller only got one offer for the "car"......it was for a measly $100.00, and he turned it down. Wonder if the seller has a plan "B"? Guess they could always sell it for scrap or at least sell off the front end.
