Not a turbo and i don't think he's mental enuff to do the swap .

As DHinkle mentioned, in addition to the items that were missing, it isnt a wide body (no intake vents on the rear quarters)

Who would bid on a car with 4 pics and none of them very revealing. This is shady at best.

Did you follow the link to their website? They are some sort of high end recovery outfit. Maybe the car is a repo

Enough said, look at those wheels, bumper, definitely not a turbo, I doubt if the car has a clean title, and I don't think it would be a swap either.

well, whazzzzzz won the auction and has to pay $66K for this questionable car. Depending on the initial purchase date, it may not even have any warranty left, let alone any chance of a CPO or even getting a PPI.

Am I right in saying they didnt make a 996 TT cab until 2003 ??

But anyway, that car in no way looks like a TT.

No you're wrong.
No TT cabs until 2005 in the U.S.
