'83 MSE Clone
Beware of the '83 MSE clone on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=230366517550

Thanks to Simo for figuring this out.

Here is an older picture of the same car.

Re: '83 MSE Clone
Looks like someone pulled a bunch of parts off a junked MSE...

Simo, how did you realize it was the same car? The targa top?

I wonder about that top. Wouldn't it significantly reduce the car's structural integrity not to have the center T-top bar? A coupe or T-top car doesn't have the same chassis bracing as an convertible.

Louie and Alex recognized the car.

I ran the VIN listed on eBay verses the California License plate number in an old picture on the California Smog History site and they matched.
