Real Slantnose?

Real Slantnose?
These guys are calling this a factory original slantnose. However, one look at the headlights tell otherwise. We all know they should be round not square if its a factory original slantnose.

Wow, that is crazy. How about that "large intercooler system"? At least it comes with personalized plates

Fiberglass front spoiler too.

They say "Factory Original Slantnose is a Rare Edition of the 930 Turbo and which holds its value more than any other car in this year." Sure sounds like they are trying to describe this car. Either way, somebody is in for a rude awakening.

That car is only worth a little more then half of what they want for it. Too bad somebody will lose on this deal. Has anyone emailed the company and advised them its not a factory slantnose? They probably don't want to hear the truth.

If you read the ad carefully, they're actually skating on the edge. They initially call it an Slantnose Turbo original Sports Coupe.
Then they go on to say that the Factory Slantnose holds its value better than any car of this year and describe an original slantnose by saying "The front fenders were steel with pop up headlamps, while the rear had extra cooling slots and different treatment to the sills. (. Along with the body modifications came a luxury interior and an uprated engine (to 330Hp). "
In the first part they talk about it being an original Turbo Sports coupe....in the next sentence they simply state a couple of facts about the factory Slantnose. I think they're playing a semantics game but never quite come out and call this car an original factory slantnose in the same sentence. Does it infer it...yes...and to the unsuspecting it might result in buying something other than what they thought they were buying. But I can just hear the justification process....."We never said THIS CAR was a factory slantnose....we just said that factory slantnoses held their value better than any other car of that year". but...but....you said.........No...no, you misunderstood me. Next case!!

This does not appear to be a factory slant as the factory ones had round headlamps and thats the stock intercooler not a large one. Never the less I would still be interested. I live not far from your place of business and might be interested in the car, whats the price?

I used to own a real 930 slant nose. Definitely not factory slant nose. Rockers and headlights among other things. Look closely, and the oil cooler should be on the side vents.
