It obviously has the optional light weight, invisible compressor. Very rare, one year option I am sure. Yep, its there; you just can't see it.

"Reserve not met" Can't people just enter a starting bid. How should a potential buyer know what the minimal offer is?

Yep...GM stole that technology, through industrial espionage, from the company that built Wonder Womans jet. Wonder Woman was furious at the breach in security and successfully sued GM...thats why its only a 1 year option

Default May be a Steal

As of this moment it's at 38 Bids and $610.00 !!!!!

Even without the compresser that's a bargain!

Oh wait, this isn't one of those "I had to move and leave the car behind, wire me the money" scams. Is It?

Maybe their just nieve? Nah!

I'd assume the mileage is actually 142093 what with the numbers being offset from turning over.


If there's no structural damage (rust) and the buyer can stand to have an automatic witha low power smallblock, it might be a decent buy...

Prolly not though.

In S. Florida they tend to think BIG numbers....
