I didn't stop to ask about the price.
I was just surprised to see it amongst all the much newer used cars.

That`s the new anchor brake. Obligatory in the fastest classes over there.

Yeah, and you should take it for a test drive. You`d probably scare the crap out of the salesman.

Okay, we need to find Richard's city, and where he works, and his route home... Then Google map all the used car dealers along the way and find how much this ride will cost.

The description is a bit of a laugh Cheesy Looks like it has Street Eliminator type heads on it, power pulley, and with a turbo I'm sure it will run trouble-free for years Roll Eyes It looks the business, though. Who would be dumb enough to trade that in!? I bet you could get a deal on it, doubtful it will move anytime soon Wink

Typical used car lot! "

I come from a long line of professional gamblers, used car salesmen, and other "Professional Bullsh!ter's" so I figured I would translate this for those who don't speak "used car" language.

Description
Are you interested in a truly fantastic car (cuz we have the PERFECT car for you!)? Then take a look at this good-looking 1966 Volkswagen Beetle (which may appear to be a heavily modified, high maintenance, non-user friendly car, to the untrained eye). This outstanding Beetle is just waiting to bring the right owner lots of joy and happiness with years of trouble-free use (provided you never drive it anywhere and expect nobody on the planet to know how to work on it, unless they have the correct factory repair manual or many years experience as a mechanic in a Chevy dealership...and by trouble-free, we mean buy the car and get it's troubles free of charge!). It is nicely equipped (and has VERY low miles on it...since it's 15th restoration. Also included is a 10/10 warranty...10 minutes or 10 feet, whichever comes first! )." Wink Roll Eyes

Typical car to see on a used car forecourt , its obviously had a blow over coz I don't recall 66 model bugs coming in that colour .
 its been rear ended at some time coz its lost its engine cover , the mufler pipes have gone and the rear lights have been pulled from an earlier model car  Roll Eyes
I'd avoid this if I was looking for a new car  Grin

Maybe the brothers are getting back to their Pro Stock roots and needed new Camaro/TransAm template?  Smiley
