    worth the 5k but I wouldn't buy it simply because the car doesn't interest me.

    I think it's bad ass and off the wall kind of baller.
    BUT, I have no interest or desire in a rotary vehicle, so that could turn me away from it. On the other hand, if I were capable of finishing it, I could always fabricate mounts for a motor I'd like.

    My opinion: yes, worth 5k to the right person, worth nothing to the wrong person though.

    If I had the money, yes, A 20B PP one of those would be amazing.

    i think it could be finished with 10k-15k, u find a nice front clip from something.. fd/s15/supra/mustang/vette/Z.... most of the hard work is done, just need to find something to put in it, and wire it up.
