serius? Its a stock 5 speed and a SM NA motor i dunno he would have had to do some hefty stuff to the motor to get that kinda money in my book. If the person who put the add out was more specific then maybe we could glean more value from his car but as is it's a car that probly has no raod legal title for 4k dollars and it is in peices.

It has a $1500 cage and a hard top, and has already been stripped down and interior painted, it looks like. That's a lot of the work to tun it into a SpecMiata. Just needs suspension overhauled, and some assembly with the engine/ drivetrain.

If he has reciepts for $5900 motor and tranny, that car is absolutely worth $3300. The motor alone is worth $3k used.

Aparently you have no idea what a Spec Miata Pro engine costs. If you got the engine for the cost that he is selling the whole car and that comes with it you would have a great deal.

Have a great day,

+1 on title, some have it some don't. Good luck trying to find out what was done on ANY pro built SM motor! And don't think that you are going to FI one and get many miles out of it.

Well worth the price, keep the tub and track it (awesome cage), sell the motor.
