I really hope that guy does not have 38thousand in that thing, cuase u could build a hell of a car for 38grand and a 15thousand dollar paint job im a body guy and i have never heard of a paint job cost that much enless there is alot of cutom work or maybe it has real gold flake in the paint.

Makes me wonder the background of these builders. Not to stereotype, but this looks like a car build by muscle car guys. The quality seems to be there and they can build badass muscle cars, but have no clue when it comes to imports.

Wow, I'm right on the money. Just checked out his website and sure enough. He's a guy in his 50's, who's built up plenty of muscle cars in his days. For once, will these guys hit the "SEARCH" button before they start up on a 240 project!!:rant2:

Yeah if you look on his websites he has a few awards and has documents for every part put on the car. Its and actual show car and its functional price tag is where its expected to be. Some kid will buy it just because of the trophys and he knows that. Dont harass him for it thats "Playa hatin" witch is close to "Cock blockin" both diserve ass whoopins.

It wasn't solely directed at you, I can see quite a few members on this board sending him not so civilized messages, he didn't put it on ebay to show it off, hes trying to sell it. Zilvia has similar rules on its own for sale forum, thats all im saying.

according to the description (i didnt look at his web site) the car is far from a piece of shit... the car is UGLY but there are somethings done to it that make it worth more then the typical s13... things like redoing all the underbody and placing all the bolts with stainless steel bolts and all the little things... if u wanted to de-rice the body then it would make a decent car..
im not saying its worth 38k, cause its no where near worth that. but this car does have some decent things done to it.

lot of the musle car guys are used to building old classics, and getting a pretty penny for it afterwerd. Restore deals. In the import world its different tho, especially with an s13, most of the time you will lose money when selling the car. if it were a 69 camaro with all numbers matching, clean and restored, then yes 38,000 maybe, that s13 umm I say 15,000 - 18,000 range honestly.

12-08-2007, 11:03 AM
if its "that good" why is he selling it? its obviously not that good, hence why hes moving to the next project.
maybe the paint and restoration work is nice, but the car itself looks like it wasnt built right. looks like it was built with rather average parts.
i wouldnt even bother listing HALF the shit hes listed, from piaa lamps, power and tilt STEERING? every fucking 240 has that shit.
the wheels and tires look like a mistake, and being that he even bothered mentioning the spacers shows that he probably bought the wheels and realized that they dont fit right (too sunken in).
stock taillamps really kill, as do the INVISIBLE stock rear brakes.... the way i see it
that chassis should sell for maybe 7-14, with a LOT of shit being parted off of it. all the electronics and stereos are useless... they depreciate faster than hell. really, the chassis, paint and motor are the most important items there. and i really dont like the paint scheme.
personally, this car is a typical "east coast" car...... the parts were picked out of a magazine or off-the-shelf speed shop. my wifeys miata will sell for more than that thing

12-08-2007, 11:03 AM
I agree with most ppl on here that not every1 will agree with everyones work, i dont think its so much ppl hatin on his work as much as the money he has wasted, but this guy needs to be realistic, can u imagine if u went to get a loan for that what the bank wold say, they would prolly fig it is made of gold or platinum or that ur on some good shit.

east coast cars are LAST IN LINE to getting good quality parts from overseas. besides folks like estevan and russ, i dont see to many special cars from the other side of the US. if anything, the problem us west-coast 240 owners have is that people fuckup by doing TOO MANY modifications. then i see these cars that are slapped together and dont even run right.

He might actually have a chance to sale it for large money in JAPAN. Seems crazy, but if he could push the "restored" thing to enthusiest there. He might have a chance.
And not the drift crowd!!! I mean the guys that will pay 40,000 for a cleanly restored 1971 bluebird coupe.
But really, that thing is a joke.
All that bodywork and the bumper still sags in the middle?? WTF!

but yeah it's such crap "the best available parts" and it appears he red painted stock rear calipers lol...AND he doesn't even have kouki tails!!!!
lol...."The motor internals are basically stock leaving room for additional high perf. components"
BEST PARTS AVAILABLE!!
i have an idea, i am going to email him a question and post it here. anyone who sees this post just ask some ridiculous question. i'll start, below is an ACTUAL email i just sent to the seller. i will post his reply when i get it. i basically tried to sound as retarded as possible, in no way does the below email i sent reflect any of my own personal knowledge:
hey seller,
this car doesn't look like a silvia. only silvias came with a redhead rb20det. isn't it illegal to put this engine in therez? i have a few more ques. how come the steering wheel isn't on the right side, isn't dis car frum japan? how many lcd screen does da car fome with? how many tow hooks did you install?

most people in jersey have a new car with a intake/exhaust and think they're all that or a really janky project car, like a stockish 240sx with a sr20det. there are a handful of nice cars roaming around, though.
all that considered, i don't know anyone who'd put a car together that looks like this one, so let's be fair
