You may be fooling the 7 year old down the street, but you making a fool out of yourself.

It does not too bad outside. Its incredible how NASTY it is inside. No detailing at all on the interior and engine bay. The air vents are dirty as heck too. I guess I'm used to my ride being spotless inside and out.

$42K for a salvage title C5 with 66K miles?!

Appears the seller is trying to make back as much of the exterior Saleen mods he can. The interior and engine bay look pretty bad considering all the energy he put into the exterior panels.

He would have been better off going with the C5 based Factory Five GTM!

Not too shabby IMO.

Believe it or not this car was built this way up in seattle... The builder told me this car has over 400hp with the car being stock. The car is a stock SL1. This car was on Ebay like over 1 year ago... The same builders are working on other body kits that should look nicer... I am not a fan of the inside

The new seller did not do this to the car he purchased this already done....

Can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear!
The owner who is selling this "gem" must be a real "winner" .........
Outside is ok, inside is a true pig!
