The Grump Would Be Proud.
 

These guys have some pretty cool cars that they test drive.

Enjoyed watching that Ziggy.

The used car salesman seems like a real honest dude.

Oh lord.. maple motors is in my backyard.. AFAIK the driver is a local racer and not affiliated with the lot. They’ve been in business for as long as I can remember. Not sure I would buy a car from them but I will say they try to be as honest as they can about their inventory. Anyone else bothered by the reverse lights not being in the correct location?:bs:

I saw that video a week ago, haven't seen the car in person but if I was looking for a tribute car I'd check it out. I'd have look at the pics again, does it have a motor plate?

Looked at pics again, Caltracs, ARB, coilovers, looks like a fun car. I don't like al the switches it would be a fun tribute to bomb around in.

Not too street friendly with that trans, which to me would be a big selling feature.

Needs a tunnel ram :grin:

Never bought or seen anything bought from them but he seems like he wants to show any flaws with cars and they’re reasonably priced unlike other dealers they’d be asking almost double what he does

I see fitment issues, incorrect rs add ons and rust pits painted over, but compared to the astronomical prices of other clones, this looks like a bargain. The trans popping into neutral when lifting the throttle would need to be changed for the street, but it is a cool car.

Yes. And more.
 

Yes it does. And nitrous, serious tires and a driver who has the balls to make it work. It can't be driven with 2 hands on the wheel and it doesn't like drivers with clean hands. The ash tray is full of butts and there are burger wrappers on the floor. It needs to be cleaned out at every light or it pops, bangs and stalls. It runs the best at night around 60 degrees. It's almost impossible to turn the steering wheel while stopped in a parking lot. It pisses off little old ladies and kids go nuts when it drives by. It chases dogs and runs over cats. Dogs bark a mile away. Cops follow it everywhere praying that the guy lets it go. Every cop in town knows the owners address and where he works.

It has no wipers, no radio and the back windows get stuck all the time. It is almost impossible to get in the back seat and if you some how get there you better have a lunch and a pillow. People have been lost. It has a glove box that won't stay shut and is full 9 second ET slips and even more unpaid fines. If the radio does work and AC/DC comes on you better buckle up and hold on for your life.

It's a gas drinking, fire breathing, hot running MFn race car which should have never been put on the street. It's all that and nothing less. AND I WANT IT!!!

I feel your pain Ziggy as I too want that beast of a machine. What a Friday night ride.....

IF you guys like that, BUILD ONE. Ziggy your Canadian like me, so that is over $50,000. I think you would be pretty close if one built that, but would probably be a bit better as everything would work and would buy a better trans like M23 or LSC5000. A mild nut tunnel rammed BB would also look more the part.

I feel that this one for sale could be a hard sell at that $$$$ point! Just a clone with an expensive, yet incorrect trans for the application. I should know, I HAVE ONE! And I wouldn't street run it, even though it has been converted to run a torque converter too.
