Default I want this car. Anyone know it?

If I had ordered a car, it would almost be exactly this. If it wasn't all the way across the country from me, I probably would have already traded mine for it

That's one heck of a trade for a volvo. My guess is because the coolant lines were welded and all the mods to it, it probably ended up at the dealer auction and they grabbed it.

If Sharkwerks did it they are likely pinned, not welded lines. As the original seller was getting a 570S and the selling dealer does McLaren as well as Volvo i suspect it was a trade-in. Pretty amazing.

Before it was at the Volvo dealer it was offered for sale at a Fairfield CA Ford dealer.

And at some point offered for sale in Sunnyvale CA.

Found a link to a thread renn-list.com. Looks to be by someone who bought the car in January of 2016. Appears it was offered by Mclaren in Newport Beach, CA.

Put the car's VIN in a google search window and see what you can learn.

Love the look of this car! I've been eyeballing it too, but I'm sinking all my funds into a house right now. I know. Not smart.

Hi,

That's my car. It's on consignment at McLaren SF. I bought a 570s.

I bought the car in Jan 2016 from Mclaren Newport (sold them my 12c).

Feel free to shoot me some questions.

-Ryan

SP Motorsports did the coolant lines and they are pinned.

Sharp with the .1 stickers, smart. Never was a fan of the .2 stickers, but love the .2 car.
