This add is WAY more about the Flipper than the car.
Is "correct" engine the original? The underside pics are typical MIA for this price range along with and PHS, ETC.
How about the dash bezel ?
Would sell better with 15" rally wheels, AND
RIDE better too.....
What is a "Tuned scenes" ???
WING.. really?? Looks like the one on my 84.5 Anniversary T/A.

Some warning signs. Should have wood grain wheel center, not black. Painted? And red arrow is all red gone. They put shiney paint on and fender bird emblems original with all acrylic gone, just metal. Exhaust extensions almost point to each other in a V. I think with that wing angled up in front, it might actually cause lift, not downforce. Website has more pics. None add confidence. Just looks flipper quicky job.

Listed on Seattle craigslist but has Arizona plates? Also the dealer is Desert Private Collection Motorsports? Don't blame this on Washington. This is some crack pot want to be high end car lot in California according to the map in post? Who knows where this car is located if it even exists???
