The reserve on this car is not cheap but if you look at the picture above and the 100 additional pictures below and read this description carefully I think the price is fair for the car considering all the time and money that obviously was spent on this car! Over $150,000 to build this car. OK here we go.

Just check out these pictures of this car and tell me if you drove this car you wouldn't have the koolest ride at ANY car show.

What can I say about the Custom Show Paint job on this car that the pictures don’t show? IT IS STUNNING!!! The Tangerine Pearl with “Ghost” flames they look amazing. I tried to take some bright sun pictures, but they tend to get a little washed-out. You can see a little of the ghost flames in the sun or with a flash. The level of detail under the hood is show winning, as you can clearly see in the pictures. I drove this car on the freeway and as you can see in the picture it is taching a little over 2500 RPMs at almost 80MPH with the Gear Vendors Overdrive. Bear in mind this motor is making peak HP about 4900 RPMs. Let me tell you getting on the freeway was no problem and a lot of fun. It was about 80 degrees out the day I was driving it and I was running the AC to be sure and the temperature never got over 195 degrees.


Please pay close attention to the picture above and the 100 ADDITIONAL PICTURES BELOW and this description as they will answer most if not all of your questions. If you need to speak to me my name is Rob and my phone number is (208) 860-1171 or you can email if you prefer at [email protected]. As always I tried to get as thorough and in-depth with the photographs as possible.
