This looks surprisingly clean and straight for 5K. What's the catch?

Photos are from before the "big wreck" at Road America?

The catch is the guy wants $6,000.

That looks really clean from those link pics.

It's like a GRM version of the Harbinger Agent 47!

I wish, that's awesome!!! Gotta get rid of the Chevy engine though...

Plenty of rust underneath...

He says it has "screw jacks" on each corner, is this something like a pneumatic self-jacking system?

That's the going rate for a decent street stock around here although that one is maybe above average, at least in the photos. Screw jacks are for setting corner weights quickly. (wedge)

The trouble with buying race cars off sites like racing junk is that the cars are usually built for the specific rule set of one particular track. That car would be legal at my track...if you got rid of the jacking bolts and backed up the motor. And on many other tracks it would be a slow dog. Be nice if the street stock class was more standardized.

Ride height/corner weighting adjustment.

Odd someone took the time to cut the floor out of a Mustang then attach it to a GM metric chassis. I assume it was pretty rusty when he started, so that's cool.

the metric chassis is the one that all the cheap parts are made for...

Rust? That's clean enough to eat off of for Wisconsin.
