How does an entire engine get stolen? Was the vehicle parked in an unlocked shop? This isn't something that can be done in less than 5 minutes like CAT thefts. Also the 2nd pic clearly shows an engine under the hood and what appears to be the interior gutted with speaker wiring hanging out (looks like this guy does real clean work).

I also thought the VIN check line in the description was good. "custom ordered base model with every performance upgrade they offered (except for brembo brakes...)." I guess that's just a fancy way of saying it's simply a base model. I don't believe the base models allowed you to upgrade/add items such as the Homelink Mirror System, Cruise Control, LSD, Leather Seats, Bose Stereo, Satellite Radio, heck or even the rear hatch spoiler/lip.

Good find Mic!

Thanks for the credit but it was Heel who found it.

I merely speculated on the incestuous 20k. 😈🤣

It does seem rather appropriate.

In another shot, it's next to a trash can.

Almost made it.

That Z looks surprisingly clean for a red one (paint not faded/peeling). I would pick it up as a mechanic's special. Engine swap is easy. I'm guessing the timing let go...just a guess.

I'll never understand these posts where the seller says "just seeing what the market is like."




I'll give you a hint, chief. It's not $15K for a roadster with some cheap-o parts and 120K miles on it.

Look, chief, either you're gonna sell whatever the f**k it is or just STFU!

Nothing gives me more confidence in a used vehicle when I see a staple gun and painter's caulk "staged" in the driver's seat.

What an affliction I have. I scrolled up from the bottom and saw the interior first. "That ain't no 33, that there is a 32." Oy, I gotta get away from cars for a while. I do miss my 32. Fun little car with the top off (and the car's too.) Snort.

Default Flame stickers = +20hp

Something makes me think this has more than 17,400 miles on it.




Functional hood vents (mounted backwards?), hood fins, flame graphics... This thing is awesome.

Maybe they channel air down to a sophisticated under car venturi tunnel. Y'know, ground effects like an F1 car. Lewis, look out.

Yeah, I see a lot of adds where they leave off a zero on the mileage. Drives me nuts.

This is funny to me. Seller says "don't be lazy" when it comes to pick up.



Proceeds to post wheels and apparently too lazy to include the specs. Durp.
