This is the kind of updating I like in a car. The new engine and transmission makes it a very drivable car and it looks good. I agree that the rims are too much and I don't like the idea of retrofitting HID lights, but that car is sweet.I wish I had the $$ and space for a nice finny like that

I quite like it. I like the dice too. Gives me a chuckle when I see it.

Hungry to Florida ? why Florida ? why not to whereever the new owner is ?
I almost started bidding on it. Now I am off. I wonder what the reserve is.
It is a nice interior job with the stick on the floor.

I like it, don't like the wheels but the rest of the car is nice.

Seller does come off as kind of slick though...

Nice paint, nice engine conversion, including HIDs...and like the rest of the posters, lose the Daytons (rims)!

The "Chip Foose"-like steering wheel detracts from the cockpit as well.

The auction sounds a bit suspect too...I would be afraid to be a "bitter" on this one...

Yeah a nice wood Nardi would look fantastic compared to that thing.
