They are. I am responding to the fact that my dad told him all of the shit we put into the car, i.e. tranny, rear end, etc. These weren't UPGRADES per say, but merely keeping the car in good condition.
This guy looked at the pictures and tells my dad "Sure don't look like no show car to me" then went online trying to find nicer ones. Well fuck you, dude. You have pictures of the car from AFTER an accident in the dead of winter. You don't know how the car can look.
Sure, I can go buy a 170k Mustang for $2500. What happens 5k down the road when I have to turn around and put $1400 into the tranny when it goes out? All shit that was taken care of on mine. You can't compare.
