This car was built with the best parts available and there is a ton of attention to detail in how the car is built.

I have in excess of $35k invested in this car as it sits...no expense spared in building the car. Pics are available at http://www.malibumotorsports.cjb.net

Asking $20,500 turn key or $17,500 rolling. If you paid someone to built this car with the parts listed, it would be impossible to duplicate this effort for twice the asking price.
