yes specially when the supercharger alone cost like 10g's more or less alone by itself so i guess this is a good deal

there are some people in here that really know the story about this car but for that price and only under 18K miles i guess its a really good price

i guess its a really good price
Only thing getting me nervous is that the guy that first owned it was a shadetree. Great guy, just not the best mechanic, thus the crank key mess up.

The big question we all had was whether he did the crank install to get it back to stock and dumped it....or if he paid the stealer or a cheaper shop.

That was just the first owner too...not sure how many people she's been through since then.

It's a buyer beware in any case.

I have seen one before for I think 24,500 on Autotrader. It had a clean carfax, and it looked pretty good. I think maybe some people just don't know how much they are really worth.

Good deal...even if you buy it and part the whole car out...I hear those V8 Kompressor badges fetch $100's on ebay.

Wow, what an uber douche! That old eBay link is one of the most disturbing tidbits of prose I've ever had the misfortune of reading. I seriously hope that no one gets hosed on this!

I just tryed calling for it and some kid answered. He said that they got no car for sale and somebody played a joke on them by putting that add up. Who know's the truth.

On Autotrader the cheapest one found has 49,000mi. and wants $38,895.
