Price reduced to $105,000 USD.

If you bought it you could also enjoy 50% depreciation over the course of the next year or two and possibly get $50,000 USD for it.

I'd take a pass on this one.

Buy a roller from someone for next to nothing (considering the M96 blows so often it shouldn't be hard) and spend a fraction of that money on a Chevy LS1 and you'll be right there for a far less money... plus, the motor will be far more bullet proof.

The depreciation on a "Porvette" conversion will be high as well, but you'll still have piles of cash left over and the same permagrin on your face.
