Really glad I live on the opposite side of the country...
And that the Atomic Hairball Motorsports bank account only has about $1.50 in it at the moment.
Ohh no.. Too close to home.
Price is too steep. Extremely cool car, though. Wonder if Tom Walkinshaw would be proud
Is this the one that's been for sale for a while? That cage is built oddly, and probably not legal for a lot of different classes. That said, I like it, would trackday the crap out of it.
BEST VOLVO EVER.

A nice TIG welded cage is a $3500-$5000 problem if you can't DIY it. If there was some reason that a person wanted a wrong wheel drive station wagon with all the utility and seating deleted as their track car... it's not really that over priced. Brushing aside the complete ridiculousness of the end result... it's a pretty cool build.

It is a really cool build, but the cage doesn't add value if it's not legal in many race series. Especially on a car few people will be clamoring for a show cage in..
What's weird about the cage? It looks like a generic rally-car-esque setup.

Little things like the door bar setup and the harness bar not going all the way across. I can't tell what the top hoop looks like, but I doubt it was setup according to Nasa's guidelines, since it's .095 thick instead of .120. Plus there's the total lack of gussets, but there are some interesting corner bars.
I'm not saying it was built poorly, but you owe it to yourself to check to see that it's legal for whatever you want to do with it before you plunk down the cash. Not like you can't modify it, though.
