Salvage Title is the way to go for sure.
Salvage title that hasn't been fixed would be 5/7
That thing is a runner for $7500, ain't nobody going to give him anywhere more than 7... Offer him 6k and see what happens... cheaper than a crashed nice one.

I won't have another project car for some time, but it's fun to dream.

Why not raise up your car on the factory adjusters and trim an inch off the air dams?

17s on the rear... it'll still look better than a fucking :truk: and cost next to nothing.

I want even more sidewall than that, and that doesn't exist for a 17 without going to a :truk: tire.

:butwhy: it is a sports car made of plastic, sitting on leaf springs, It will never ride well period. Just enjoy it for what it is... This is reminiscent of the raised Golf :plac: attempted...

:wat:

You can run a 28" OD tire in the rear. That's tons of sidewall on a 17" wheel, practically into :truk: territory.

Well, it diverged from the original off-road vette kart concept.

I wonder how 28" OD drag radials would ride? Probably pretty good.

It's what you do anyway. 5/7 idea.

Burnouts, donuts, highway pulls.

But I'm with Max, the raised :poorvette: is not a good idea.

The dude is obviously a moran. I wouldn't purchase this vehicle, but the concept of a vette kart has intrigued me for a while.
I mean, I get it. He'd love to get 15k, realizes it's not realistic, but figures why not at least see if anyone really wants it. Truth is BAT is unpredictable and the selling prices can be totally ridiculous, so may as well wait for that rather than sell for 5k now.

Can I post the old kurfets in here?

Had this FRC for a year, sold it for what I paid.

Sold it to the original or 2nd owner for 4k more than I paid three months later. Was a fun car, but sold the day I settled on my house.
