Default What?!? Factory Turbo??

Check this ad out.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2959776721.html

sitting in n out of our garage for the last few years that is very rare and has a factory turbo
I lost keys and title I do not know were my dad placed them
I can get a title for 500 more
7500 no keys and title
8500 what keys and title

Factory turbo? Id like to see the pics. I wish C3s were worth 7500, with no keys, non running AND NO TITLE

I wonder if anyone has called him and shed some light on what he really has. I would value the car between 1K and 3K If he could find the title...

Must be an '83. That's the only model year that came with a turbo....

LOL i give it a 50% chance that this is a scam. And another 50% that this guy is looking to steel your kidneys.

wanting extra for the title... that has got to be illegal.

Looks like a Pace Car... would have to see more for sure, and a VIN would guarantee. If it runs and drives it'd be worth $7500... with the title. lol

Maybe he heard TURBOhydramatic 350?

Yeah looking at the paint and the seats, it seems like its a Pace Car and he's calling it a Silver Anniversary.

NO mention of where this mystery TURBO is......possibly in a box in the back or on the passenger floor board?
Shark Racer has probably hit the nail on the head.....
Where is Simon Cal when you need him? Possibly the stupidest add ever.....worthless....get it out of my sight...............remove this add

Sadly there are no keys to start it up and verify that. I love how they say the engine runs fine... prove it

Hehe, I saw that ad yesterday. This morning they are advertising it as a"rare PASE car". Someone is flagging it every time they post it appears.

No keys. No title. NO WAY!
