His mastery of the English language sounds just like all the solicitations I get from Nigeria.

And such a bargain for a 200 MPH car.

And from my calculations it has an Olds 403 that revs over 10,000 rpms! Must be the elusive non-windowed block.

For the purposes of this ad, MPH = Meters Per Hour. 200 Meters Per hour = .124 Miles Per Hour. Sounds believable to me!

200mph??? How in hell would you keep it on the road? And it sure isn't a drag car. Maybe 200mph being towed by a v12 Ferrari. LOL

Maybe that 200 MPH over a cliff.

Anyone in the Philly area to check this out?

I thing the Olds 403 (and any other engine in the world) would run out of rpms trying to get anything up to 200mph with a 4.11 rear and TH400. You would likely need about 15,000 rpms for this with that gearing.

Nope..... I-95 maxes out at 90mph unless yer a drug runner. Then it's 100 tops. Usually tho it's so congersted yer doing 45 max. That's No Joke.

And if the Phillies game just let out, 45 is a dream.

I imagine he's reading the KPH scale on the speedometer, even then it's quite a stretch. He'd be lucky to hit a hundred and even then he'd only do it once or twice before he'd be looking for a new engine.

I don't know, but I think fifty-five-thousand dollars is probably just a tad high for the car, even if it does have new brakes, rotors and tires.

It takes well over 800hp to sustain 200mph and that's if everything is just right. What an idiot...

And FWIW, if you are asking 55k for your car you better have a pic in the ad. So who is going to be the one to email him and ask if he hit the 0 too many times??

If he hit anything too many times it was probably a doobie.
