I've seen this car forsale somewhere before and the seller name does not ring a bell. let me look to see where I see it before. i almost smell something fishy...
says northstar in the description... is that a longitudinal northstar or what is that?? looks like a custom cradle similar to what held motorsports used to sell... man... that is a WICKED kit car... now if only i had $65k to spend on it... lol...

its a chevy small block with some sort of supercharger on top with a custom intake box going to the air filters
Im thinking maybe the guy just bought the car as it is and doesnt know too much about it and is now selling it

Id love to see a roadster like that WITH the side windows. The one I got dont have any parts or instructions on doing a side window. The ad says this ones got power windows, but I dont see any of the track or guides, much less weather striping.

Very fishy. Look at the items he has feedback on, mostly a buyer of trinkets. Definately not buying or selling the type of items that you'd expect for someone who'd build a car like that. I smell scam.

Mmmm hmm... Sounds fishy to me! And AAAAAGH! The dreaded GM steering column!!!!!! How can one spend so much money on a kit car, and keep the stock GM column?? That bugs me to no end.. For about $100 I installed a 3000GT steering column and wheel, which looks 300% better than the GM one. Argh. And where do I get info about that car?!?! They used a 3000GT climate control system, which is what I'll be installing. I have to know how they did that!!!! I'd email the eBay "seller", but considering he thinks that engine is a Northstar, I don't think he'd have any idea what I'm talking about. Cool car though!!
------------------ Bob Williams Multi-colored '87 Mutt, a work in progress! (3800SC installation in super-slow-motion progress... It's bolted in now and runs!!! WOOHOO!! It works!! It works!! It works!! Did I mention IT WORKS!?!?)

Nice looking car...... it's too bad the guy is too lazy to take the car off the trailer long enough to take pictures of this $65K car that he wants to sell so bad.
I've seen the car before tho, one of the best builds I've ever seen. This moron posting the thing on ebay can't even get his facts right, hope he gets shut down soon.

In the writing it says he has $80,000 into it and is selling it for 60+. It then says if this one sells off Ebay the top bidder will be put on a list for the next one. Why the heck would someone take a loss like that on one and then do it again?
Yep I see a scam!
I wish they could catch these people!!
