W30 clone on ebay

Out of curiosity, what do you guys think about this one. It's a very nice car, but the price tag??

The 442 badges I guess. Not sure, just having a interesting conversation with the owner on Facebook.

Its a beautiful car, but... $85k. Its kind of like building the most expensive house in a neighborhood.

He may have 80k in the build. The car isn't worth 85k IMO. If it were a real one, maybe.

It is a great looking car. It's not worth anywhere near 85K. It's not even a real 442. There's a real one up here in MA. Heater + radio delete, W car, matching #'s, 4 spd, nice color, collector owned and totaly restored. I think it's 35K..........and it's killer. In fact...I think there's a red one up here to in the same range.

o,k, heres my take.just why IF this was a true nevada car did they replace the floor pans and trunk floor?jeez my 66 ss chevelle has been an iowa car from day 1 and my floorboards are perfect.now the trunk floor is a different story but still.i live in the rustbelt.

It is a very well done car although I don't like the pin strip. If he got $35,000 he would be doing well. Of course he could take it to Barrett Jackson and some fool would probably buy it for crazy $$.

Beautiful car! With the low 1st gear in the 700 trans + the 3.91 gears I'll bet it's exciting off the line to say the least. Looks like a top-notch build & at least they used all repop stuff on the OAI setup instead of wasting rare original parts on a clone! I agree with "redoldsman" he better take it to one of BJs auctions if he wants to get any kind of $$$ for it!!!!

Nice car but he's way out of the money, especially with the car built to his taste.
A straight up clone would prob bring more if well done.
