Wonder why all those holes are in the rain tray? I bet that car sounds sweet with a 383 stroker though. lol

It's been for sale for over 2 years, 2 YEARS at $8,000-$9,500, that alone tells you something.

LOL yep it's a $5000 car!

He probably thinks those holes are going to let heat out but all they would do is allow less air to flow through the radiator.

So, what's wrong with it:
Valve in transmission sticks sometimes (Transmission is screwed)
The timing cover has a leak (Motor is filthy)
The gauge cluster hood needs replacing (non of the wiring done)
The car needs a good tune up (runs like crap or barely at all)
The zipper on the top is bad (top has been taken off) (needs new top)
There is an issue with the paint cracking on the front fenders needs paint and likely body work)

Bucket of bolts that's going to need to be torn down, issues resolved, and rebuilt. $2500 car.
