Your friend should sell it for $350k and move onto another project.
He won't sell it. He has an interview and TV shoot scheduled with Hot Rod magazine in the spring and will likely be building quite a few of these for people who have already taken interest in his idea. He's got deposits for 6 cars already and plans to start that in February.

This. X10000. It's hideous and this is the most it will ever be worth. Sell!! If he has other orders already lined up all the more reason!

There's a bolt-on hood scoop that covers the exposed plenum and directs air to it. The car looks much better with it on...

I'm admittedly ignorant about diesels but I'm skeptical about the power.

Of course it must be seriously turbo'd, but the air filter(s) don't imply that, weird...

Very strange manifold setup, but yes, it is turbocharged for sure. Not 100% if it's still on stock snails or not though.

Not my choice of color, but the quality looks nice. I would like to see video.
