1khpwrx since you have very little history with our community, I'd rather have members confused at first and become very clear as you answer some of the valid questions.

I'd also suggest another tactic that may address your concern is to edit your first post to pre-emptively address any of the questions you're concerned about.

Yea the original owner is a guy name Geoff. The engine was build by Autolink in Southern California. Good car but I dont think this car ever entered or won at HIN. I am a judge at HIN but i could be wrong.

Hey guys, just for some background info on the car, Geoff Chen was the original owner who built the car. I purchased the car off of him and sold it to the owner who lived in Las Vegas. The car has has never been hit or been stolen. Geoff told me the insurance company titled the car salvage because the value of his car was worth less than the cost to repaint it from being keyed. They probably knew the car was keyed purposely so he could use his insurance and he would not have to pay for the paint job and salvaged the title to show this type of stuff is not allowed. Anyhow, hope that helps. The car was a great car with minor flaws, hated to sell it but I needed the money at the time.

Yup. I have nothing to hide. Everyone knows the deal...
But like everyone the car has passed through I am not in need of money and dont have any intention of letting it sell for cheap. I can part it out for double what I bought it for...

Someone will be very happy to own this car.

Just to chime in, I bought the car for 16,500 and that's what I sold it for. I don't know how much he got the car for, but the price he's ASKING is still an awesome deal. If I had the cash, I'd pick it right back up. I went from driving that to a 91 buick park avenue. It sucks when you need money, but family always comes first. GLWS

Paint job, body kit, engine swap, parts, interior work alone is worth it
