I know the Roadmaster wagon is pretty cool and all but.... $14K!?!?! You could have at least cleaned the dust off the gauges before asking top dollar.

Not sure what's crack pipe about that one. Seems like a legit import of a rare car.

Not even that nice.
-crap shocks and springs
- spare crappier shocks
- Spec Miata (heavy and cheap) wheels
- stock 15x7 BBS wheels (these are worth a surprising amount of money, especially if they have center caps)
- cheap pistons and rods, but no documentation other than "trust me"
- improperly installed harnesses
- aftermarket seats that don't work with harnesses
- the obvious paint and interior problems
- ready to be turned into a Spec Miata once you change the suspension bushings, springs, shocks, engine, roll bar, seats and find a hard top.

So, it's a shagged out, poorly modified car that is given an attempt at legitimacy because it is a "track car".

Why do I have an urge to buy this? Fite tires and slammed on the ground would be a blast. Already street legal....

Careful when looking for street legal sandrails, lots of "legal" ones out there running around on random old VW titles.

A Civic hatchback for 3,500. Only 168,000 miles.

Unfortunately, crap like this is fairly common in my area, though I have net seen one painted like this before. Probably because they end up totalled on the first drive after the rotors are painted, yep, ENTIRE rotor painted.
