Hey everyone,

Just curious to see if anyone knows this car or has gone to look at it? It's made a few rounds on e-bay and has never sold (at least not that I know of). Starting at $8k with no reserve, what's the deal? Seems like a good deal, but it's hard to tell from a few photos...

I know that this car was discussed here once before. I always hate the ebay photo's. The two things that stand out to me are

1) Battery relocated to rear trunk

2) no picture of the hell hole.

I'm no expert buy any means, but isn't better to have the oil cooler mounted closer to the front of the front trunk instead on the middle of the trunk floor?

Interesting... I don't think it did an hour ago!

Yeah I'm not saying it's a "10", but for 8K it sounded pretty good. The reserve might be much higher than that.

I agree on that oil cooler. Where's the needed air flow?

I agree on the wheels. I know that with my 15x6 Deepdish & 205/50's the gap betwwen the tire and fender was miniscule.

Based on what I see that car looks like it has some problems.
