Nice car, but your horsepower numbers seem to be a little off. Please tell us more about this engine. I really like your cowl intake approach.

Location, far more pictures, a better description of the car (one mans show car is another mans daily driver), and posting of the engines dyno sheet and details (cam, compression ratio, which valvetrain within the AFR185's, etc) at the very least. As they say, extraordinary claims require extra ordinary proof.

It looks fantastically clean and unpersonallized, both of which are needed to command the price you are looking for. What may hurt you is the non-OBDII compliance which will make the car uninspectable in many states. Location is very important in this case.

It's sort of a shame you made the horsepower claim that you did without backing it up. 450+ is not needed to command the money that you are asking, unfortunately if you can't back it up it may hurt you.

Good luck with the sale and make sure the new owner knows to check in here!
