djmtsu will become famous soon enough
If you spend a little money to get it back on the road, then 10.5K is a good price for a potent FC. But........

With a blown engine, and the stock wheels, alot of people will turn away immediately. So, drop some coin on the rebuild, pick up some staggered Sportmax wheels, and sell it for 13K.

I guess this is where I have to accept other people's opinions.

I assume you read the ad, and saw that the motor is NOT blown? I don't think people know much about a cracked plate. I can start the car and let it run right now, but that wouldn't do much good with no oil pressure.

I said that if someone bought the car quick enough, I'd throw in a ported plate. So an O-ring kit costs about $150, and say $50 for misc on the build, and the motor could be back together for $200.

I'm not understanding how what I'm offering right now is not seen as a tremendous deal. A "beginner" is not gonna buy this car, so I'd assume if someone purchased it, they'd know what they are doing with these motors.

The wheels and suspension were next in line on this car. As it sits, its the perfect platform for someone to put down 500whp, slap on the suspension and wheels of their choice...and have a car like NO other.

I'm open for someone to find another FC with a list as long as mine, in as good of shape, and looks as good as mine, that sold for "around" my price....

I mean you could always buy an FD roller for $8K.
