Can't be an RS/Club Turbo....the rear badge doesn't say that so it can't be!

Interesting "Turbo" given the speedometer...

That car has been right there for sale for at least 6 months.

I wouldn't even bother calling.

Yeah, that sweet ride has been for sale for a long time. I'm within 30 minutes and would not take the time to go check it out. Normally a "rough" car does not scare me off, but the seller here seems to be praying on the uninformed.

Did anyone noticed the sweet Regal in the background held up by a scissor jack?

Weird thing is the VIN number comes back as a 1995 Carrera. Not a Turbo.

Not surprising since there's no such thing as a u.s. 1995 turbo. It's even an EARLY 1995, as evidenced by the OBDI port.

Perhaps it was a salvage car, converted to widebody (and maybe turbo?) ??

Setting aside the issue of the questionable seller, what actually wrong with the car itself? A totaled '95 is probably worth $15k, and a totaled 993TT is probably worth $30k...

It's having an identity crisis.
The paint looks awful in those pics and the pics are pretty awful.

So right now it's a $15k car, but if I walk up and rip the Turbo badge off, then is it a $25k car?
