I looked at this car to potentially fix as I'm currently sitting on a good 5 speed rolling chassis/body tub combo but the price is rather high for what you're getting I think. Even the inflated auction prices I've paid in the past weren't anywhere near $15k. If anyone knows who bought this car let them know that I've got the two biggest parts they need to get it fixed.
