So this is local to me, its interesting.

Paxton supercharger, headlight delete, headers and high flow cats, full exhaust shaved door handles. Replaced seats. No stereo upgrade which is weird.

Paint has obviously been repaired across the entire back of the body there are sanding marks everywhere and no tape on the joints. Might make a good driver for someone or well me.

I like "most" of it...not crazy on first look of the lower grill insert (worried about over heating issues especially with the supercharger) and maybe the black front fender look would grow on me. The seats look nice (if they are indeed good quality). I did not see any image of how the Paxton install looks..only one image of engine bay posted.

If work is well done then with a Paxton and low miles, price isn't too bad. I could see myself driving this one!

Never seen this car before but with the grille more than half blocked this car has to run HOT.

Grill definitely needs to be swapped out for stock. If the paint was much cleaner I would love to get my hands on it.

Going back tonight to take another look and see now that they have it cleaned up if its worth getting.

Seats are reasonable quality though I would prefer OEM and the door poppers scare the tar out of me if the battery were to die.

Based on what you posted I would want to know about the body work and how serious any damage was!

I have door poppers and I will never do it again!
BUT just in case, I have an add'l hood release outside the car so that I can access the battery, and also have an add'l power window switch under the hood to get in if poppers fail even with a good battery.

Seats look wide and should reduce the amount of travel significantly. The outside bolsters stick past the rear quarter trim pieces which makes it impossible for the seat to travel back to the rear bulkhead. Hard to say for sure, but I'm guess there is 5" plus between seat backs and rear bulkhead.

Going back tomorrow to take another look and maybe make an offer. PM me your questions and I can get you in touch with the guy there if you want to work a deal. I have enough of these things the last thing I need is another modified one.

The Seats look like Recaro aftermarket seats to me. If they are, they're pretty expensive.

Buddy...I was thinking the same thing....they look a lot like the Recaro seats available in the newer Camaro ZL1s. The seat back may go deeper than it looks as the headrest on those seats is angled out so that part of the seat is away from the bulkhead.

Unfortunately I don't think they are Recaro seats
One there is no Name brand on them in any of the photos.
They like to advertise!
I think these are Ebay specials.

these are the one in the car..



I bet there is a world of difference in comfort and quality.

yep - those look pretty much like the ones on the car. St0rmbr1nger says they were decent quality. ebay ad says they are leather...lots of the other ones are not. I would prefer stock seats because most all racing seats are firmer than stock factory seats because they intended for track use.

These seats are significantly firmer then stock.

Everybody's got to come to there own opinion on this one. I would prefer it with stock seats and door handles. Still not the number one pick of the car that I want but it is close and low mileage.
