I agree with both of your points.

First, the negatives: it's a .030 302 with what appear to be stock style iron heads. We know what my car dynos and @74stang2togo 's is right there in the same ball park. So we can give a fair assumption that this car is, at best, in line with them. BUT, given the fact that it looks like it has a stock-style shifter in it, we can make an educated guess that it's also a stock II 4 speed which, as has been proven MANY times over, is not up to the task. Then, it does NOT have frame connectors in it OR a cage. Who goes through the work of back-halving a car and NOT do any of that? So now it's a question of how well it's actually done.

Now, the positives: It's back-halved. To have all of that work done it's gonna cost you a pretty penny even if you do the work yourself. I mean look at all of the components you have to buy and/or have modified. The 9 inch, the wheels, all of the bracketry, etc. It looks like a pretty clean body, the dash pad isn't all fubarred, and the seats look like they've been recovered.

My opinion, he's thrown out a decent asking price for a starter pro-street if the work is quality. But I would seriously question it unless I were able to see it all in person and/or had someone who is really familiar with back halved cars go through all of the work that has been done. But like I said, it's an asking price - I don't think it will sell for that amount. If I had to guess, he may be able to pull somewhere around $6-10K from someone who's looking for a II pro-street project.

@Potomus Pete My car is the black Cobra that was recently put up in a video on the dyno, @74stang2togo 's car is red.
