Looks like the car was bought already slammed. I'm not a fan.
The present owner installed the aftermarket FI setup.

I've seen this car before, C/L maybe ? As I recall, it had a very tall number attached.
Nice looking car, and BaT might be the right place for the market.
I think the median price for a home in Great Falls VA is north of $5M.

Yeah, too low, with too small a tire. But easily reversible.
Interesting injection using the 1800 / 140 manifold, but I'm always concerned about extremely customized systems using bits from this car, sensors from that car, throttle body from that car, and then an aftermarket management system. Seems like diagnostics and replacing faulty parts down the road get complicated. Is it outperforming a stock 135hp injected 1800?

Yes, good-looking car, good color, great condition. 16" is a surprisingly good wheel proportion here. Seats unoriginal but surprisingly great-looking, and don't really look out of place.

Made $6550, a bit spendy for one that needs everything.
I agree, but then every car on BAT is more spendy than elsewhere, or so it seems.

I dunno, way too new and not enough pedals, I would think. In the warm embrace of a Dealer, too. With so few miles, whatever would he do with all the time he would've spent fixing things ?

Gorgeous. I think it might reach 10k

Some if the buyers comments are hilarious

“ what coolant was used to replace it”

Hmmm. You are bidding $5000 on a car and coolant is $25
