in the picture of the pass. side of the car. it looks like the wheel is sitting really far back in the wheel well. is that just the angle the wheels were at or does it actually sit that far back? what was all damaged on the car for it to have a rebuilt title?

I have looked at the car a few dozen times myself.
Let's put it this way, even if this was a roller I'd give at least $4000 to $4500 for it. Then you figure the fact that JUST the engine, tranny, and rear parts for this car are worth what he is asking for the whole thing. Then figure in all of the many many many hours of labor and tuning that were put into this car assuring that it was as bulletproof and economic as possible. He is throwing the car and probably all of the labor in for free and then some.
Adam is an **** person for real. We aren't even close friends really or anything and I'm not a kiss *** kind of person. I followed the entire build up (in person a lot of the time, not on the net) and just want to make sure this car is not misrepresented in anyway. He wanted a car that he could drive to the beach and back comfortably enough in and stop along the way and make some low 10 second passes (9's if he had a bigger set of nuts).
I think he pulled it off 100% and even though it might not be the absolute fastest LS1 I have ever seen it is without a doubt the best all around street and strip car I have seen period. You guys know what kind of cars come out of KY and most if not all of the guys will credit Adam with the best all around setup.
No bullshit when I say it would be in my driveway if I didn't already have one out here. Congratulations to whoever picks this car up and no need to bring a trailer.

If he does, you could drive yours here and drive his home, or hell, meet in the middle. I'll ride out with him. That overdrive in that strong of a tranny makes things nice!

Bump for an awesome car, I was around for most of the build also and this car was done right. If someone is looking for a car that they can drive to the track, click off some low 10's and drive it home this is the one for you. There are very few cars that you can do that with, big props Adam for doing what most can't. I hate to see it go before you really got to see what it could do but I understand.
