I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The red circled areas on the dash are a sure way..the speaker grilles and demister vents appear "sunken"...sure sign of a dash cap. Also, the ash tray is full of something. I hate smoke stinked cars.

For 17 and a half grand, that  car had better be brand new condition. Ughh.

It would maybe be worth $17.5k if it had 800 miles and looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Maybe. This car is worth $3k on a good day.

Slow down....the sale price is Chickamauga Dollars.  With current conversion rate of 10 Chickamauga Dollars to $1 U.S. that equates to $1,750.

I'm just curious what people think when advertising something like that? I just want to call up and ask where did you pull that number from? What FACTS do you have to support it?
