Is it just me or did he run that $12,000 paint job into something on the driver's side bumper? Opppps! 10 demerits for false advertising. And what's a M-24 rock crusher tranny? And a (-1) rating with a deadbeat noting. 100 more demerits.

Beware of anyone only taking long distance pics. Are those stress cracks behing the door in Pic 3 showing the boom boxes in the back? Run Lassie! Get help! :lol:

Re: EBAY - 73 454 - Interesting (UKPaul)
The $1000 for speakers probably means the JL W6v2s he has in back. but thats waaaaaaay more bass than most vette people need and therefore, a bad selling point. if that paintjob cost him $12,000, i hope they used some sort of lubricant. im gonna start telling people that mine cost 30K. because mine looks about 3 times better :D
Is that a HUGE crack?

$10,000 in engine work to get 500 hp?
$5,000 Sound system in a 2 seater?
$12,000 in paint on a car you drive?
Clearly this guy is the poster child for spending too much. For 10k I would know exactly how much Hp. As for the sound system I would be afraid the pressure waves would put stress cracks in my expensive paint job.
:crazy:

I've never heard of an M-24, but the last time the rock crusher (M22) trans was offered was 1971, so this is a very rare combination.

Great feedback :rolleyes:
By the way here is his response to the question about the crack in the car
yes its a spit in the fiberglass....the set of rims that i have for it are
9.5 inches wide in the back and stick out about 1 1/2 inches from the
fender...and i went over a bump and the wheel came up and hit the fender and
that was the damage. it will be fixed before being shipped...all they do is
epoxy it and sand, prime and repaint. if you have anymore questions please
ask. thanks

E-mailed the seller and asked about the "M-24". He said that it's an M-22 that's been rebuilt twice, hence the "22 + 2 rebuilds" = M-24!!! :confused: :rolleyes:

Okay, I'm no pro here and I'm ready to learn something.
I just checked my "Black Book" and I don't even see a M22 transmission available as an option for 1973. I did see RPO # M21. Is that the same thing? If not, what's the difference.?
