What's wrong with that Car ?

I am watching that car now for the last 4 weeks on ebay and not a single bid on it for the price it seams not to bad the car has some upgrades and from the pictures it looks clean to me ,did I miss here something ? , or is there somebody out there what knows that car .?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10156&item=4552523598&rd=1




I ask because a friend is interested in buyng it and i like to get him some more info before he flys over to Florida ( cost 650 $ dollar from Aruba ).

Thanks for any help.

The Previous owner had the motor rebuilt from the bottom up about 5000 miles before I purchased it and restored the Interior/Exterior. Reported to be be rebuilt by John Forbes of Black Forest Racing in Delray Beach FL. There are no records though.... Here are some notable details: 2.7 rebuilt S motor with the super strong 7R Mag Case. Raceware studs, Fuel Injection. Pressure fed Chain Tensioners, other possible internal upgrades...
At first blush, looks nice, but to answer your question on one point, rebuild without records, yet he makes claims about components used in the rebuild.
regards,
Steve

Kasi--looks not bad--- a couple of queries I would want answered.
The 77 should have a center console[I think] and the center ashtray isnt there where the equalizer is. The absence
of a heater probably would not be a worry in Aruba.
But I wouldnt touch it until a pre- purchase inspection verified the condition of the head studs. They do not have to be Raceway
but the case must be inserted.
The other thing I am not sure of is the scavenge oil line around the back of the engine like an SC rather than the hockey stick
under the bellhousing.
Also a claimed gearbox overhaul with no records is a bit dodgy
but a drive would soon tell that.
Somebody has sure spent money on it but thats easy to do with one of these.
Good luck- just like a woman,a nice one is a nice one.--a bad one will destroy you .
