Don’t see the black lettering on the manifold, and the metal straps will require a paint job after shipment. It’s sitting next to a bronze sh$&box car!

Aside from the SB in the background and questionable tie down strap positioning, the two most notable identifiers are the red cam cover emblem and the missing oil level sensor.

With it obviously not being a 92 as advertised, only having a single poor quality photo in the ad and the relatively poor condition, it also calls into question the mileage claim at 20k miles.

Buyer be ware.

There was one listed from Japan awhile back that I believe was listed with 50 or 60k miles that looked equally as bad. Looked like it had 100k and sat outside for a year.

The throttle body has been photo-shopped, nearly completely missing.

Hmmm


Only thing that appears to be missing is a large van with the words "Free Candy" on the side of it and a tear soaked mattress in the back.


72% Ebay rating...... Yeah avoid like the plaque .....




I also noticed the cam cover emblems, the reverse piping and oh yeah the coppertone ahem box next to the motor.

Prob no thermostat housing or ECM either. GC

It looks like the horn is missing and the strap is right over the little cover.
