Nice.

It's got weird options though. Base model, no moldings in between the bumpers and wheel, no passenger mirror, manual mirror, manual windows. And yet it has A/C, rear defrost, cruise, and a power seat.

Just remember:

Missing molding pieces for no apparent reason usually = REPAINT.

The owner definitely hasn't driven it much in the last year. He had it on eBay in August of '06 with 7 miles less showing on the odometer.

All it needs is some pony wheels or TC wheels or cobra Rs.

So it is the same one?

I understand the repaint, but why put the thin little strip back in between the wheels?

At least somebody hosed down the engine bay and spray painted the air cleaner lid :hick:

My guess would be that he wasn't able find NOS replacement wide moldings, but was able to find the thin ones that goes in the center, or the body shop was able to save that one.

It's the same one, compare these two pictures.
The first one is from the August '06 auction, the second is from the current auction.
At first I thought he was just re-using the photos taken for last years auction but the grass in the background is noticable different.

Wasn't the engine bay trashed in the eBay auction?

And good point on the trim, I bet the center trim is just generaic stuff that looked "close enough".
