At that price there had to be something wrong with it, right? Right?

No one knows because you didn't screenshot it and it's been taken down.

But chances are, yes, something was wrong with whatever it was.

It was a white 2006(?) Miata, with maybe 4 short lines total for the ad, and one picture. It could have just been a scam post.

I forgot to screenshot it as well :doh:

Given that it's a world class margarita machine, I'd say it's the latter of the two. I mean, the sheer power that margarita machine creates is astounding!

Depends on whats been done/how complete it is. It's pretty much a Fox body Mustang so the only issue might be fuel economy.

I also found the build thread for it with some more pics... pretty damned clean job and clearly done by a couple of guys who know fox bodies.

I was looking for a Fairmont wagon forever and settled on the Volvo for the 302 swap. They're annoying difficult to find and the ones in decent shape always are asking way too much for them while claiming they're the perfect drag car. Like the Fairmont is the only fox body car out there.

Warning - Posts created under the influence of Codeine and/or Skittles
The people who list their cars on CL at KBB "excellent" value, list all the "mods" and what not and then try to hide "salvage" or "rebuilt" title somewhere near the end hoping that you miss it are scum of earth. Yes, I'm sure the insurance company totaled the 2008 Mustang GT you want $20k for because there was a minor dent on the bumper.

It's always the same type of douchebag that does this. They loved their brand new car with every ounce of their being and just didn't have the heart to let it go after some catastrophic accident. Instead of just scrapping the car and being happy with not owing any money on their loan, they buy the POS back and throw $10k into the shitheap to get it back on the road. Then the second their inspection is up, up on Craigslist it goes! Then they list it $2,000 over the average asking price for similar models because of the sunk cost. "But but but look how shiny it looks! What's a frame damage?"

Almost as annoying as the mythical Manuel transmission.
