its got no engineers so im thinking the price is about right or prob a bit expensive. He would be better parting it out i would guess.

I wouldn't call that cheap for a very old MQ without an engineer's cert.

Its not too bad if it's what you want. The 5 speed and gas makes it a little more appealing.
If it's got a few things wrong with it then that is probably the top level of what its' worth.

Allthough I reckon mine looks better and is engineered with rego, How chimp boy, how do you think that is expensive, mate look up any running 350 chev add the custom shit plus adapters, clutch, exhaust etc etc. 4130warrior if you want an MQ (MY MQ) lol, send a PM. How ever I do want a little more than what is on that other thing.

I'd still be interested in swapping my GQ for a V8 engineered 5 speed QLD regoed, mechanicallly sound, rust free, MQ Shorty on gas.
Lets be honest - shorty V8's rock.
As such I dont see that it's an unreasonable price. However there's a significant difference between engineered and roadworthy and unengineered needs work.
When it's listed as "needs work" it could be a barely together poorly assembled misaligned heap of shit that keeps breaking things due to a bodgy assembly job.
I've seen quite a lot go for similar or lesser prices - it's damn hard to offload V8's and 4bies due to fuel costs at present, and a modified unengineered v8 4by would be like trying to get rid of a case of the crabs.

I have had mine out on the HWY where my dad inlaw lives, Ive had a heap of lookers and one rang and test drove it... Funny thing though...an MQ SWB with lifted springs, body lift, and 35in Claws is not going to drive like a HSV Commodore, lol,,, I think he shit when it started to follow the road camber on our crappy HWY out of wagga. HOW can I stop that from happening, shits me too.
