Stack up those $1 bills and it's a thick wallet.

Joe Ruiz was the guy selling the kit for $14,000.00 and at the time I don't think that was his selling price either !

Negociable...what usually happens is those who have them ask far too much for rubbish. You make a counter offer and they say NO because they know how scarce they are. Sooner or later someone will pay their rediculous asking price Confused

Joe Ruiz's prices might seen high but at least you get what you pay for.

$14,000 for what, 65hp? I'd rather open my decklid and display a nice 2385, and put about $8,000 in the bank......Oh, yeah, and it's a bit more fun to drive!

It's like Lind famously said about Judsons once-- the power of a 1600 at 10X the price.
