check the "ask seller a question" section...guess the queastion asker didnt realize that header panels can be put on a non-TC....:dunce:

And it's not a Sport, lack of full console/floor shift/good seats.

Q: are you sure it's a 5 litre V8 ? It doesn't have a radiator grille like mine does - it looks more like the 4 cylinder version
 Sep-30-06 
 A: All i know is it says 5.0 on the intake plenum and has 8 spark plugs. Maybe its two four cylinder engines

Hell that car isn't too far from me.  Bout an hour and a half!  Here in nebraska I can drive a car with no tittle, no insurance and no bill of sale for weeks w/o even thinking of getting pulled over.  That guy looks like he is on a farm anyway making it even easier.

I love nebraska.

I drove a 91 sprint for weeks with no papers, luckily I quit being a lazy ass and tracked down the 'owner' to get the paperwork done before I got pulled over :p

I love that tu-tone

My brother had a 240SX for about 2-3 years and never did have the title during the time he owned the car (previous owner couldn't find it)...and he drove it all over the place. I don't even know what he did with insurance or getting plates on it or anything...still a mystery to me

Sad part is, I have had someone ask if I know how to work on a V4. I sighed, and walked away.
