Sad ? What's sad about it ? .... and I quote the seller:

"This is a Mad Max project A 1959 Plymouth Belvedere on a 1979 Dodge Dually frame with a 454 Chevy engine and turbo 400. Needs to be completed."

All it needs, is to be completed ! Have some vision, OK ?

The Wasteland events here look pretty fun. I wouldn't mind using one to go to that, but Georgia is a long ways away from that event.

He should have used a 440 instead of Chevy 454. Using Chevy motor in a Plymouth hurts the resale

... good catch on retaining the resale value. I think he also got the trunk interior
overspray patterns wrong. That will cost you serious points at any concours event !

The seller needs to define what exactly constitutes "completed."

What is sad is that he thinks he can get anywhere near $5000 for this POS.
