Foose 500 wheels, custom sized to vehicle. custom aluminum door panels & dash, with boost gauge Sparco racing seat, with full racing harness Completely re-design front end, with one-off headlight system & mesh inserts similiar to Lamborghini filled side & rear doors, one piece side windows with plexiglass carbon fiber rear taillights This car will be sold "As is", this is currently set up as a race car. It handles like a sports car, stops on a dime, AND does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds!! This car has only been run once in it's current condition, it runs and idles great. All add on parts, wheels tires, turbo, Nitrous, Posi rear end, etc. only used once. In order to make this car street legal the following items would need to be finished: hook up headlights hook up tailights comply to your state's smog laws, it does not have any smog equipment In addition, it does not have side glass, or regulators, does not have any interior (except the aluminum panels), rear doors are sealed shut, rear windows are plexiglass, front window has air vent, and some other comfort items should be resolved for street use. ALSO the turbo is mounted where the passenger seat should be, you would want to move it or build a box around it for street use. THIS IS A T.V. CAR! The paint and body looks great on film, but it is not a show finish, but decent. There is enough money in parts that you might want to buy it, strip it, use the parts OR race it at the track as is, OR a little work would make it a crazy street driver!! There is a TON of money in Foose wheels & tires, turbo charger system, Nitrous system, front suspension, front brakes, shocks, AND rear end ---- GREAT PARTS for hot rod project! Approx. $5,000 in wheels & tires alone!
