I'm delighted to see that he has no bids on it with only 2 hours left. That car is the best example of the poser lifestyle I've ever seen. Image before everything.

I don't dislike it that much, but 7 berkeleying grand???? Maybe half that much, and I would be interested.

He claims to have spent 13k on it. That must be the worst spent 13k ever.

It would appear buyers give zero berkeleys about it, too.

Especially in that it's been for sale many times since immediately after the feature and initial buzz it got.

If I had an FB and 13K, it would probably be faster, handle better, be DD able, and look better.

Hell, with 7 grand I could probably do all of those things.

Kidding! I like your FB!

Interesting idea, but you can buy a nice clean FB GSL-SE for less than $7K. That price is stupid high.

It is like a lemons or Chump car, minus the engine and suspension work.

Overpriced but after watching most of the video I now want to build a 5.0 FB. I imagine that will change when I finish my LS1 FC.

I'm not impressed with the owner... At 19 I was cranking out way cleaner hot rods... Without acting all d-baggy about it.

I could fix everything I hate about the car in a few hard weekends though. I just couldn't let myself pay 'him' money for it first....

I get the build what you got/ can afford mentality and the rest be damned but that's just bad taste... You can't tell me he couldn't afford to buy a piece of sheet metal or cut up an old washer/dryer and build a proper air dam.

He actually put a lot of effort into making it look like he put little effort into it. That's lame.
