I offered the owner of it in ~2013 some advice on Shark Tuning it.

It started out its SC'd life as a Keel Kit circa mid-'00s. That one has a lot of history on RL: most of its owners were posters.

It's very nicely done - at least in the pictures. Don't know why Olmann sold it after putting all that work into it. I don't know why the guy that bought it from Olmann for ~$70k is selling it. It's been auctioned before.

Selling a modified car is always a crap shoot.

Greg's comment was actually spot on - in fact, he may have stolen it from me (IDGAF) - even though it was marked as non-constructive.

If I didn't already have a Twin-Screwed Amazon Green '91 GT with Paul Champagne seats I might have bid on it. LoL.

Boy, I thought the restomod craze would have nullified some of that by now. Obviously not.

Because they are all, for the most part, one-offs. I figure anyone with a brain has to know that if you buy one you will need to DIY. And that cuts down on the potential market.

It’s missing a second blower, that’s the problem:)

I’m kidding of course.
Mine is the ultimate DIY, with eyes wide open that it would be likely mine forever.

I was the underbidder the last time. It's a nice car and Brian is very meticulous. Just too many cars and moving pieces at the moment for me to chase it again. Supercharged sharks are fun, as you know!
