Normally, I'd put car listings on the cars for sale forum. But I wanted to find out if anyone knew anything about these two cars.
These two cars are interesting. Same seller. At initial glance I'm thinking "lots of hackage" but then I start to look closely at the bodywork...and these seem to be really really well done. Not my cup of tea, nor would I go for V8s (both are that), but these are just too sharp to be just some backyard hackery. What's the story? Tell me these aren't ex-IMSA cars that are modded for the street... Apologies to non-Facebookers if these are not visible, I'll attach a couple of photos. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5723070064402620 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1294844444702398/   |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I saw those last night and thought the same thing, particularly the light blue one. They really look quite clean. Price is right too-if backhoe shopping wasn't consuming my discretionary spending... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Cool cars. Not much info on the ad. the darker blue/orange doesn't even say what motor it has? These would be some fun track cars. |

I think the classic rule applies here, you couldn't build those cars for those prices. So if you like what you see, it's probably a deal. But you have to like what you see and these cars will have a narrow audience. Cool but very taste specific.

The pics don't show anything special. They didn't even take quality pics. Diamond steel wheels suggest cheapness. No five lug conversions, didn't even bother to drill the hubs for 5 lug. Stacked air filter on the V8 car, is questionable. Roll cage not through the firewall, so no real chassis stiffening.
Goofy gaps in the corner of the front fender/bumper/hood joint. Poor fit up of the body kit. Rocker panel looks like a hunk of aluminum sheet. Meh, overpriced based on the pics and lack of effort into the ads. |
