Default Who's SC is this?

I was bored and just trolling around craigslist and happen to find this SC up for sale. Wondering if they are a member here. Seems like a pretty unique ride: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/car/420362044.html

Looks pretty nice, but I see pulled rear fenders and not a widebody. Plus, 15,000 seems a bit steep for stock motor. I also question the claim of 500 5sp produced. I always thought that no one could get an accurate picture of how many 5spds were made. Only know that it's not a lot.

its a nice ride but lots for BS stuff listed. Mkorsu is right about the pulled fenders and im pretty sure there were more than 500 5speeds.

For that price you could build your own SC and still have money left over..

Just my opinion. The fitment on that CF trunk looks AWFUL. Definitely an aggressive setup tho, just I think its overly aggressive with no motor to back it.

I personally think it looks great, minus the cf trunk fitment.

This is my friends car. He use to live in NY but went back to Cali. He has many other cars that were in Super Street and Sport Compact. This is the hottest SC I have ever seen.

Why is he saying its a wide-body? The rear fenders are just flared.

Everything but the hood and deck lid, looks good. But, I agree, ...WAY too much money!
