Found this one on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ADME:B:SS:CA:1

and noticed the engine has an interesting intake system. But what is really fascinating is the ad never once mentions the "extra Boost" associated with the modification or the modification itself. Maybe owner isn't aware that $18K in engine receipts probably included this aftermarket add-on (maybe he isn't aware it's not a standard item!)

You would think "Supercharged C4" might appear in the advert. Perhaps he is selling for a friend or forgot to tell his insurance company about the mod.

I would however be a little worried about the oil leak and respray esp on a Guards Red car.

Other than that looks pretty good.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen "DOHC/24 valve" in a 964 ad. At first I emailed a couple of the nitwit sellers but then decided it's just not worth it. Amazing how most people "selling" them for someone else know jack-sh#t about them.

I saw the car at either cars.com or AutoTrader.com. There was a reference to added Supercharger in that ad. The fire extinguisher is ususally a dead give away for DE use which is fine if the car is well taken care of. I think the price I saw was about 3-4K less than the ebay asking price. Perhaps room to negotiate.
