Derelict 300SEL w/LS9, custom suspension...etc. DAMN!!!!

I really want this car. I am a huge fan of restomods. Line of the old car with the guts of a new one. I just need $450k plus tax title and license.

Made some really dumb choices in my life, but the worst must be not getting filthy rich so I can commission a project like this...

I have gone to their web site and seen the videos, the cars are truly masterpieces. They really seem to like what they do.

Post About Getting Rich

There's quite a bit more to it than most realize .

I had the opportunity but have moral standards that precluded that particular method of gathering wealth .
