Looks like someone took a 2-door, and morphed the back end of a wagon on. Complete with a hearse rear door. And a giant hood scoop.
Other than aesthetics, the ad has some ishas:
$22,000
42,000 miles
You don’t call yourself “highly creative”
A B20 doesn’t have 150 hp
Giant elephant ear mirrors
A left hand drive AND right hand drive dash
