Looks like he had so much time....yet so little good taste in mods!
But still, if you took all the terrible body mods off and the car was clean with that engine bay I would buy it. Then I would take that exhaust off and throw it in the trash, and slap two medium size turbos on it!

We took the 5m apart today and I took lots of pics!!!

I bought an alternator from him for my 4x4 Toyota truck a few years back. It had a true 1500+wrms worth of amplifiers, plus electric fans, and off-road lights. With his alternator and an Optima battery the voltage was...
