Concur and HELL NO would be my answer as well

This has ben floating around for awhile now.A shame its been butchered,the driver side door panel mount looks to have been cut off the door.

I think maybe we're all mistakenly looking at it from a "street car" perspective. Maybe if someone just wants a track car to bash around, or strip a lot of weight out of it for the drag strip like the "snake skinner". this might be a good candidate, for the right price. I'd rather risk this one, out amongst the hay bales, than a nice original Z.
What do you guys think it's worth?

Ahhhh.....NO! This one has been on the Bay for quite some time. Probably better off a parts car.

as long as it's a solid car that runs well there's no reason it can't be a track car or restored at some point.

I stand pat on post #10. it looks like cobbled up monkey azz and Ive seen better track cars. not 17k Maybe 12K. You can restore or skinout the interior for weight reduction I guess. Would need to see it in person to look at the rest of the "Engineering"

I was going to say 10k max. If anything, a good track car will take even more money to do it right. Trust me.

Your right, date codes etc..

It looks to be set up for high speed runs like the Texas Mile or The Silver State.
That being said, boy howdy, the PO sure did hack up the interior to fit the roll cage.
Not my cup of tea.

I'll pass on this one.

I'm pretty sure it was listed within the last year, too.

if it didn't have these modifications it would be a 30K+ car!

Huh?
