No? It wouldn't wear you out on the way to Sonic?
It's definitely harder than stock, but I drive it around all day even in stop and go traffic and it doesn't bother me. The clutch gets to me before the brakes do.

The car is advertised as 4 wheel disk brakes.
I am willing to bet the people commenting on manual steering and manual brakes have never operated a car with manual steering and/or manual brakes. It's no big deal, and the feel is real.
The stock wheels are more attractive than half the aftermarket wheels folks are running, and are actually starting to be rare/seldom seen... which makes them a bonus if in excellent shape...of course that is opinion.
4 lug is plenty strong enough to go 1.3 60 foot for years and years.
A raised cowl hood does not scream sleeper to me.
It looks like a lot of good work was done on the chassis, but the site containing the photos is such a pita to deal with I did not spend any time looking to see what all the parts were bolted to.
I am wondering if the car had front end damage before they started all this. I would run the Ser #, but even then, if the car had been crashed, is the ser # original to the car?
I myself would not pay money for a 3 valve 4.6, nor a T45. Having said that is should be a pretty reliable setup.
Personally, that car, for that price does not interest me.

It's a very nice build but no A/C, PS and stock interior, 10 holes, and a 3v motor. I am sure he has close to 15k in the car but you are talking 315hp which you can get from a windsor 2v with a decent top end kit.
I would pay $10K without feeling bad. It has a great suspension and braking set up. Throw a blower on the 3V, and it has plenty of go as well. It was done well from what I can tell, and with the goal of a stock looking car in mind, it was hit out of the park.

Not gonna lie. I would pay it. I base my willingness to pay the price is: it's damn near mint and the parts are damn near new and worth more than that. Well, that, and I don't have to do the work on it. Lol. Now, I would still Offer 10k and go from there but, if he wouldn't budge, i'd still pay it.
I seriously don't like anything about that car. Props to the level of work in the pics. I just don't like it.
This car has a lot of work put into it but is not tastefully done. This "sleeper" is putting me to Not a big fan of the blue interior, that's what I have in my notch and I'm converting over to black/gray.
I personally like "sleepers" but they need to be packing more than a mod3v. My definition of sleeper is a vehicle that runs way faster than it looks ie a 9sec car that looks like a run of the mill 12-13sec car. I wouldn't pay more than 9k for that car personally.
