I think it would be a good idea to find out what shop did the motor rebuild and get their records on the details of the rebuild.

Agreed, I'd want to know why it was rebuilt also. Lack of information would make me real shy of this one.

Nope, most did not have LSD due to soccer moms putting the *** end in to trees and stuff. PSD came in 1990.

Default Evolution of the supercharger - funny

2007 -- Add stuff

* New Vortech stage 1 supercharger

* 5 fan cooling system

2008 -- Add stuff

* New all aluminum radiator

* MSDS headers

* Removed catalytic converter

2009 -- Add stuff

* New drilled and slotted rotors

* New ceramic pads

2010 -- Add stuff

* Rebuilt motor

2013 FIRE

Note: Sorry if I made fun of someone else's pain. It just struck me as, well, funny, the evolution part. Car looks nice, take a close look at the wiring, get a PPI, no reason why this isn't a good buy. YMMV.

Would someone with the knowhow Please run my VIN and tell me the options?

VIN# WP0JB0926HS861606

This is a bit of a thread hijack, however since I started the thread I figure it might be OK

Why did the VIN lookup come back showing that the car was built as an automatic? Was it converted? Could the VIN lookup be wrong? Am I reading it wrong?
