I was thinking the same thing... My guess is they bought it from an auction and it may be legit. Nothing a good inspection for only $100 bucks couldnt reveal about compression etc...

Car

Lang auto sports I believe buys cars that were wrecked (fender benders) fixes them and sells them at a GOOD price. If its not that car lot its the one next to them. If it is Lang they will have a lot behind the car lot of cars being worked on. If the work is done right might not scare me.

It's been there for a while. I drive past that lot atleast three times a week and it's always sitting in the same spot. Maybe someone should carfax it.

It definitely is catching my eye and could make a cheap little racer. I may go check it out tomorrow.

I have seen it as well, I drive by it almost everyday. Maybe they think the supercharger is a factory item because of the 03's? I don't know, I'm not sure what is scarier...buying a car that has a big modification to it or buying a car that had big modifications at one point and put back to stock. Could be a good oppurtunity to get awesome price. Most people wont buy a modified car, hence why it may have not been wanted by a bigger dealership.

I've been pondering here eventually about buying a 96-98 Cobra for a track car...but I can only dream at this point...I'll just be happy with the GT for now and my project truck.
