That has to be the lowest price SPF I have seen with a sb100 in a long long time. I would offer 40K and go as high as 42500. If that to high look at a kit car (Factory Five or a replica like Backdraft

Ahh, an interesting perspective. It's funny, I go back and forth on this.
When I'm excited about the car, I think, yeh, that'd leave me a little extra cash for whatever, color scheme isn't my favorite but looks nice, runs very well and has no apparent mechanical issues, SB-100 compliant, it's right here near my house, I've driven it and all seems well.
And then when I'm skeptical I think, but it's so old, and there's some rust on one of the calipers (see pic) and it looks like it's weeping a bit of
oil from the rear main seal (although I've seen where it's parked normally and no evidence of significant leakage), and it's not my favorite color combo, and what if...?
But I will say, that more and more I think about it, the more and more I want something with a big block. There's no rational reason, I think it'd handle better without all that weight up front, but logic takes me only so far with these cars.
Then again, that 392 Windsor sure pulled hard, and runs great, and sounds amazing...
