Yep thats good

Needs a mighty big rebuild

Impressive advert - over 13,000 hits - current bid $45,000 ! Maybe it has got quite a history, but seems a lotta dosh for something that needs so much work

Would make an awesome track toy or hillclimber.

Needs a complete rebuild though. £££ Ka-tching! £££

I would leave it as it is right now forever.
If it was over restored, the stroy might get lost.

Then again, we have all of these lovely pictures.

F5000 was a pukka formula for large Cojones, was it not

Have a look about, see how much a mint one is worth (IF you can find one) That may get the juices going!

Not so much barn fresh as free range.

One of the F5000 cars that were given erstaz sports car body kits to allow them to race in CanAm, the regs for which had been revised to reduce costs because CanAm had run out of entrants

I like it!

I've taxed worse. Bit of air in the tyres and she'll be right

They sell (complete) for £100K plus so $45K in that condition isn't expensive


designer - 14/5/11 at 09:34 AM

Restored it is definately £100K plus, maybe more in the States.

I quite like the rat rod race car look


scootz - 14/5/11 at 10:10 AM

I'd imagine you'd be buying that one for yourself as there can't be much of a profit available once restored!

looks a bid like some shell bidding going on though.

Check out the 0 rated users bids...

I;d be gutted if it sold for $XXk only for it to be a zero rated who doesnt show up.
