It's true they say, "The good car deals go faaaast" This car was one of them!
had to follow in @NateDogg steps with my title for this thread.
I recd a text alert for a new car posting on Thursday night and moved quickly. I got the manager as he was locking up to go home. He said he just posted it and was very honest with me from the start.
I told him I would give him an answer at 930am Friday when he opened.
I reached out to a few key folks here on SVTP @Silver Talon and @13COBRA for key information. I was very nervous as the car had bolt ons but no tuner or any other info.
Called manager Friday, he had offers from Ebay that were lower than his asking price by $1000.00. I told him I am coming with a check in the amount of your asking price. I'm not gonna split hairs over $1000.00
When I showed up Saturday morning, the manager told me he had taken several calls for JUST THE WHEELS. lol, I asked him, "How much they offer you?" He said, "$1000.00 per wheel, (fkn low ballers lol) I guess the don't make them anymore?" I kept my mouth shut as I hadn't signed the paperwork yet and than I hurried him to let me sign so he didn't reconsider his asking price.
Inspected the car from underneath, drove it and slapped the temp tag on it. I could not have asked for a better drive home weather wise. And the neck snapping that my wife saw as she followed from behind she said was ridiculous.
So this is the one that I found, I think by dumb luck. And I had convinced myself 'ONE LAST S197 GT500' in my WTB thread. I think I accomplished that!
So the last owner was trying to build a "Tribute Super Snake" and that is why it is misbadged.
