Looks like the guy got a decent deal. Funny the owner supposedly said 500hp
at the rear wheels , but the auction commentator said 450 hp engine (
didn't specify at the rear wheels or at the crank) The wheels have to go!
really ugly ( my humble opinion) But from just what we saw I think it would
be difficult if not impossible to have one built for for the purchase price
(which is so often the case unless one has the skills, time , and
facilities to do the work yourself).

Looks like the guy got a decent deal. Funny the owner supposedly said
500hp at the rear wheels , but the auction commentator said 450 hp
engine ( didn't specify at the rear wheels or at the crank) The wheels
have to go! really ugly ( my humble opinion) But from just what we saw
I think it would be difficult if not impossible to have one built for
for the purchase price (which is so often the case unless one has the
skills, time , and facilities to do the work yourself).
