This is tough, not worth what he's asking with all the custom mods... except to that right buyer. Where are the hearts? Nice black paint under the hood  |

That car isn't worth half of that price. It seems like everyone with an Oval thinks they are worth $25k+
$45k is insane. Aftermarket fenders all the way around, wrong tailights/installed way too high, wrong decklid, wrong rear apron, ugly ass paint (will have to find the right person), custom interior, late model engine.
I love Zwitter's, but this one wasn't done correctly to be anywhere close to $45k

They arrived at that price because they probably paid a fortune to have that hideous car built. I always wonder what goes through people's minds to build a "custom" vehicle to their taste (or lack of) and then ask a ton of money when it's up for sale. Chances are, nobody else has your taste for the custom touches you put on that ride. |

I agree, custom with some slight twists to the original is OK, but this car took custom to the extreme
What really ticks me off is not even finishing it and asking ridiculous prices...no rubber caps over the door bolts/screws, Come on man! |

Look at how many views the black 53 has, that in itself should be an indication that it's priced too high. The 55 is definitely overpriced, but the guy that has it thinks it's worth it because it come with the original title, even though it'll be pointless once the new owner registers it. These prices are so far beyond the true value, that they'll sit on here for years without being sold. |

That car has actually been listed before, this isn't the first time it's been up for sale. |

maybe so, but unless it was done to complete prior interest - it was a damn fast sale. Really (imho) its the one oval on TS thats been up for sale that isnt a total pile or egregiously over priced. |
