on the other hand, you could probably pick this whole car up for less than
the engine and supercharger cost. If you're looking to build an american
hot rod this might be a good deal. Just a thought.

?Oh boy. One of those.

?The problem (well, one problem) with this kind of hot rod is
?its lack of general appeal. The instigator is probably the
?only person who thought it was a good idea. No matter how well
?it is executed (and this one really does look remarkably
?polished), the other hot rod guys are just going to go "huh?",
?and LBC fans aren't going to be too thrilled, either.
?
?Basicallly, if you are thinking of building something like
?this, you had better plan on keeping it long-term, because it
?is not an easy thing to find a buyer for. If this guy wanted
?to build a hot rod to sell, he should have stuck with Fords.
?
?To be fair, it sounds like he picked up somebody's half-baked
?project and finished it. Good luck, I say...
