No freakin' way.There's no way any sane person would pay that much.It'll need a LOT more mods and upgrades.A LOT.

I don't think so.It's listed as $39,955 in about 3 different locations.I think the guy knows what he's doing,he's just an idiot.

You know what they say: there is a sucker born every minute.

I have seen cars like this selling for that price before.

This car was at $4500 last month then he lowered it to $39955 recently.

This car was discussed about five months ago on this thread where yellowragcat found it on the guy's lot.

Here is a link to the guy's site with really good pics.  It's a great looking car with almost no options.  The engine compartment tells a different story than the rest of the car.

Wait, aren't those the solid platinum wheels with the black gold paint and diamond dust clearcoat from Gucci? That might explain his price.
 
Or he's jus' fekkin' goofy.:rollin:

Ok, I'm lookin'...  What sort of story is the engine compartment telling me? Looks pretty clean to me. No mods but clean. Mine looked the same way when I got it.

Where does all the surface rust come from on the AC hoses?
Why is the foam on the AC lines falling apart?
What is the crud around the injectors on first eng comp pic?

With the headlights getting yellow, my guess is this car hasn't been preserved from the elements and is not worthy of the $4k price tag.  Maybe $2500.

And he did just correct the number of 9's and 5's.
