I bought mine off of cleveland craigslist too. Guy moved up from texas and never re-titled it so I got a rust free bucket with texas tags and inspection. Picked it up out of East lake area, bout 200 mile round trip for me but well worth it. Wish I had the dough to go this one too lol.
I just dont get why someone would sell it with such low miles on the build. I like to beat my junk into the ground after I finish it. Especially when it comes to a project that big. It would have to be snail trailing oil out the tailpipes before it was time to let someone else have a turn. Maybe thats the difference between a driver and a mechanic/fabricator?

Some people just decide to move on to another project once they've finished one and had fun with it. Or in my friends case, finished the project to have it blow up in his face so he parted it out and moved on.

yeah i also found a rust free car in Cleveland recently. Was always from ohio though, someone must have just garaged it most of the winters of its life..

But this car is a total steal. You have to think, the car stock is worth 5-6k if nice, right? And you know he is 15k deep in the motor and supporting mods..

How is the oil cap on the opposite side?
Do 2.8 covers have it on an alternate head?

Agreed, you couldn't replicate this build for the money he is asking. It's just a niche market with a small window of buyers interested in this type of modified car. That's why the price is so low.

Either that or its a very well polished turd like most B5 S4s.

Yup.

For some, the fun is in the build instead of the operation aspect. I've sold a few projects after they were "finished" because I got bored.

The S4 has been different. Every time I consider selling it, I go for a drive and realize I just can't.

swap the stock valve covers.
D.S. to P.S. and vice versa.

I'd wager he's in more than $15K from the looks of it.

Ads like that make me a little depressed when ive put probably around 15grand into my stage 2, it's nice but. Cmon lol. I've been robbed blind by a few different mechanics before I knew anything about cars, rant over.

Ahhh. right in the feelers. lol. At least my shit don't stink

I've talked to the guy built and is selling that car. That's not you're run of the mill 034 STK car running 2.8 log manifolds with an up-pipe, he personally fabricated the STK setup by hand (Tig welded & back-purged schedule 10 304 SS tubular manifolds with a Twin Scroll T4 flange). His welds were so good that I initially thought it was one of the few Agtronic STK's floating around to be honest. That car is worth every penny of what he's selling it for and probably then some.
