Dunno if anyone saw this:

Only a day or so left. I've been watching it for about a day. Just seems interesting, although his assertion that a little bit will get this car to the track seems hopeful at best. Looks like a 1st Gen neon Highline SOHC coupe that apparently had a sex change and a DOHC stuffed into it. Lots of PT cruiser parts on the top end, no idea if it's a hack and slash put-it-together-with-sticks-and-glue job. Although it might be worth it just for the parts included, and I've always wanted a 1st Gen coupe to strip down and go hit the track with. Although it's got a good amount of name brand stuff, the list seems rather incomplete. As if he got all the bolt in parts but no flow work done. Eh, interesting at best, a huge headache to be had at worst.

Looks like a fun project, and it looks like it has plenty of good parts.

If I bought it, I would take the head off as soon as I got it home and check for "ring ridge", if it has it, it isn't a 2000 mile old engine.

If not, you got a great deal on the motor alone.

Lets see a box of "turbo" parts for the motor, a turbo manifold, turbo, and intercooler and a mildy contradictory description. I say its a scam but you won't know til you get it home.
