Kinda looks like Poo Poo, look at the muffler and no wheel caps, also that body kit looks like a kit...

Why no under hood pictutre?

I kinda smell someone hiding something here...

Blow through carb on a 12a? I bet that does what 4 psi?

I really like this one

I accept payments via PayPal. I am a verified member of EBAY. SO please bid with total confidence
But his feedback is ZERO, humm I wouldnt have no confidence in him LOL

I have far too many problems with people that bid on my stuff and their feedbacks are low... I got a problem with one person inparticular right now...

$7500 for a crappy fiberglass kit (never paint less-than-perfect fiberglass gloss black, it's like magnifying the defects) on a ticking time bomb motor with clapped out interior. Holes from removed emblems, no seller history, an '81 "rebuilt by dealership in '82"??? But hey! Nice rims!

Wow. Where do I sign?

Could use seats and door panels at 24K?!? My '84 has 85K and still looks mint. Definately something fishy here...

is this guy smoking crack!?!?!! this thing isnt worth anywhere near what he is asking for it!!! I might give him $3500 if the motor is good. but I think even that is pretty high.

I ran into a 12a rex with a blow through torbo on it that was set at 6 PSI and has been a daily driver for the last 5 yrs. it was a complelty stock motor. made some kick *** power.

Actually, the 12A (high compression) motors can take a suprisingly high amount of boost.

I personally know of 3 Blow Through Turbos 12A's around here running over 20 lbs of boost, as daily driven cars.

Wow...what a rough crowd today...granted it ain't worth $7500+ but some RB springs in back and a rim change and it'd be pretty sweet, actually....
