That car is beat. It doesn't have 909 original miles on it those are restored miles. Someone turned the miles back. The carpet is aftermarket the seats have been recovered. Rust everywhere underneath it. Spiderwebing in the paint around the indy emblem. This is someone trying to make a buck and falsely advertising this car. The key word in the description is RESTORED.

anyone know what is behind the ignition switch? looks odd.

Hi there,
That is an aftermarket ignition lock cylinder protector. I had one on my Camaro years ago. Supposed to keep someone from using a screwdriver to hack into your ignition and stealing your car.

Yuck. I wouldn't touch that car for half the price. Either do a magnificent restoration or just leave it original and untouched.

How does a seller such as this maintain a 100% feedback rating? My faith in eBay has never been high because of stuff like this.

A couple things I noticed (and its all about the detailing with me) is the map pocket emblem is missing. The map pocket should not be stretched out like that , but it was stated that its not 900 original miles. Also the door handle trim pieces are missing, as well as the little connector that holds the seat belt guide together. Small restoration mistakes like that take away from a high asking price if I were a potential buyer.

The car has 180k plus miles on it. The seller told me they turned the odometer back when the car was "restored"
it wasn't taken all apart when "restored". The car isn't worth half the asking price.

Carfax shows stolen recovery, and 185K miles in 2002. How are these guys still in business?
