Not my car... just seemed super cheap. Perhaps someone is looking for a replacement?

Alteast it's not a ebay listing....

 

its uber cheap because it has a whole bunch of junk on it.

replace all those parts and you can up the price big time.

NO.... but it seems inexpensive. I was just checking out dragva and noticed it. If anyone wants me to take a looksie at it then PM me. Throw the stock IM back on it and good to go... IMO.

I'm in Va Beach and just a few minutes away.

Here's the pics the guy sent me...

ask him what's the deal with the valve cover and missing strut tower bar and anything else that he might not be disclosing?

that stuff doesn't make me begin to believe his statement of "69,000 MILES AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION".

 

Stock header? Seems a little weird, given the JRSC...

 

I spoke to the guy (via email)... he said he bought it wholesale out of Northern VA... he's a wholesaler from VA Beach. It felt like he has limited knowledge of the car or its whereabouts. Oh well.... I would say definate leak-down and some research before jumping on it. He also stated that he had most of the oem parts.


I wonder if it's a theft recovery??? Who dumped this R in NOVA?

And am I the only one that notices that ground cable is just resting on the valve cover. And the vacum hose from the fuel presure regulator isn't connect to the intake manifold? I wonder if it even runs...</TD></TR></TABLE>

The ground cable is bolted to the valve cover, albeit in the wrong place.

 

Seems like a good deal to me.

exactly......just part out the wheels/jrsc put it to stock and sell it for more. . .

 

Offer $12k.....install stock parts, sell jrsc, sell car for $15 and make a profit

I'll buy the JRSC ........maybe

 

Stock header and on top of that he doesnt even have a cold air, if his not willing to get that stuff, the car prolly wasnt even tunned correctly either..........seems like his sellin a lemon.

Its not that easy to just buy the car and restore it to stock and then sell it and make money.

The motor and trans is prolly messed up, and the seller didnt even do a good job of covering it up

Wow. Talk about assumptions. In all fairness to the seller we don't have the specifics and only one person has been in contact with him. To which the seller apparently has little knowledge of the car, which is an honest answer on his part.

The overall appearance of hte car looks pretty good from the pictures. The only thing in question is the motor and tranny which can be solved with a simple compression/leakdown test and a test drive. only major aftermarket part appears to be the JRSC which is a pretty easy thing to remove to put back on the stock IM. AND, some people do run short rams with their SC, although the filter element on this car wouldn't be my choice, however, there isn't really anything wrong with the ebay tubing.

The rest of my 2 cents.

It was worth a look.

 

Short Ram &gt;&gt; CAI for JRSC.
