What have they done to this beautiful car. They removed its turbos. Ohh god why did they take its turbos off. I don't think its a scam. It's pretty much a shell at this point.

I'm just as confused with the Banks sticker on the trunk. Unless things have drastically changed, they specialize in turbo diesels in trucks, and this car is not a truck, or diesel, and apparently not turbo.

Three 300W amps gold plated, are they even from a decent company? I've never heard of it which probably means it's either awesome or from walmart

Precision Power (PPI) used to make some very awesome amps, but they got bought out a few years ago just like a bunch of good 12v companies. Not as good anymore.

That car is freaking awesome. I would drive it in a denim jacket and hightops and blast some Phil Collins and cruise for chicks with really big hair.

Real Grand Sports were never made in yellow, and those aren't the Grand Sport wheels. All LT4 'vette throttle bodies say Grand Sport on them, even if they're not actually a GS. What an rear end.

You know, it's hard to tell from such little pictures, but it doesn't really look that bad. I bought my first car, a '66 Bel-Air, at an auction for $150 and it looked worse than that; Covered in surface rust. Sanded it down a little and there wasn't a single hole in the frame or body and it ended up looking great after some paint.

Do you do realize that a proper wrap job costs as much in materials and labor as a proper paint job?
Some of the major reasons for doing a wrap job is elaborate or impossible to paint designs can be easily printed, and it protects the original paint underneath. If you do anything but a basic glossy color, vinyl is way cheaper than paint, and doesn't gently caress the resale value, it actually makes it hold it better.

This is a scam, right? Or a joke or something?
So does that mean it has a 356 motor, 911 motor, or ACVW? From a distance it would probably fool a lot of people, but it sure sounds like a piece of poo poo for $7000.
