Have fun on the show circuit.

Gee F4 Gary, I'll bet first grade were the three best years of your life and you were the funniest guy in the class. If you see my Corvette at a car show, please come up and say, "Howdy". I'm the 6'1'' 240 lb Airborne Ranger with the car.

Wow is there nothing you haven't upgraded on this car yet? I like the hood idea as the wiper door can be a pita. I think what Gary is talking about is that at 95k your still 50k over what a top end 72 is worth..that being said..you customized the car for yourself and you shrunk the buyers market by going all out..I hope you find a buyer because it sounds like you built a rocket! You may want to just keep it and keep going with it..

I would really not like to meet a pissed off Ranger but I have met some over the years that had a look they could turn on and make me think they were going to eat me!
Good luck on the sale.

LLWoody - good luck with the sale. BEAST of a car. Have you listed on the other forum ?

  If you build it they will come!   Don't know if that applies to cars though.

Are you really asking $95,000 for a 72?

That is so cool.

As you say, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing". This is a 72 in name and on the title only. It is an entirely new, 21st century high performance car. From the premium paint,  body resurfaced twice, Glasurit 55 primer and base coat sanded 4 times done to 4000 grit, then buffed and clear coasted to the engine rebuilt to excede L-88 standards (try 580hp). Try pricing Wilwood 13" Drilled, slotted rotors and 6/4 priston calipers (Hint $4,900) and yes it brakes from 145mph like it's glued to the road. And I did not mention my military background to be in any way treatening, just as positive identification.
