Quick mental math got me to ~$227k in receipts, including as one commenter pointed out, a set of billet $11k wheels that I can't tell are different than the 10th anni wheels on Black Jack that I bought from LMR for like $800.

What'ya think it'll go for, all said and done? I could see payin' $40-50k if I was in the mood, but I could also see it being someone's dream fox and taking up to $80k.

Beautiful car, looks very well done. $65-70k

I've always wondered, are QA1 products good?

Looks nice. What it should go for - $40-60k. I know the owner has 1,700 hours at $95+ per hour (approx. $170,000 in labor only) but high end builds done by a shop in my opinion will not recover the cost to build it.

They have a good reputation, I've never used them but I think people prefer them for drag racing. I prefer MM or Griggs for any road racing or corner carving.

I'm missing something. There is a receipt for $11k for the wheels???

Yep, picture #197 of 210... I had to see it for myself

Holy hell.

I dunno.

Honestly dunno... but gotta be near 6 figs by now.

Okay so for $11K I would expect some one off gangster . Those by no means look like some Schott or Billet Specialties wheels and they cost less.

AI can make some really good receipt photos now. Maybe it’s fake to boost the ‘value’ of the car?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Thing is…they look pretty darn spot on to the Ford/repop wheels that you can get for $250. For a custom billet wheel…they don’t look very custom. Even the OE center cap fits

Even the OE center cap fits

There was a receipt for the purchase of those specific caps. $200-250 range if I recall.

 

[FastDriver]

I can't tell the difference:

I have not added it up, and don't plan to.... but I can say the hourly rate on those receipts is way more than I'm paying.

My man got robbed multiple times over . Some nice parts, some janky looking work in some areas and a lot make it shiny so it sells going on it those pics. I avoid cars like that off the paint work alone where it wasn't cut and buffed multiple times, some questionable looking stuff in pics that I would want to see in person, the door jams look odd to me in the pillar areas. I think there's going to be alot of cars like that popping in the future from the covid hype and regret when ppl where over paying for everything.

My mistake, they paid $38.20 each for a $152.80 total for the center caps

I can't be the only one who hates the textured under coating trend with bed liner type products. The textured stuff is meant for grip in a bed where its needed. It hides spotty ass work, and will trap moisture over time, s great for a woods beater but not something you car about lol. Every time I see it on something Its a giant red flag to me.
