Who raised the starting bid of $.99 a dollar at a time

The first thing i also noticed was the wrong offset wheels. Such a poor example. not sure if its even worth money for Luis.

Instrument pod from an automatic car, or automatic car with a 5spd swap. And the clutch pedal is on the floor. Looks like someone painted over the rust.

My favorite is the mismatched tires. It's like someone consciously tried to f*** up every area of that car besides the carpet, no exceptions.

Instrument cluster with "low miles". Does not look like a trans swap. That would be way too much work. Installing functioning clutch hydraulics would be too much work as well.

Looks as though it was pulled out of a field and given some fresh paint and newish carpeting. The underside reads 213,000 miles.

Where in the world did they come up with 1.8? And where is the Vgood part of this car?

The tires are sweet too. The best one is the Hakka 1. And that model has not been made for about 20 years.

At least there are plenty of photos to show what a prize example this is...

I agree it was probably a cluster swap. But the shifter area being taken apart and the clutch pedal on the floor made me wondered if it was a failed attempt at a trans swap.

Can you tell by the VIN which trans it came with, or just from the option code sticker in the spare tire area? WP0AA0948GN456154

I would not be able to tell from the VIN - but there may be others that would know.

There are too many clues that make me trust that this was always a manual car. The transaxle looks correct as does the sheetmetal in that area. The bellhousing on the engine, the hose off the brake reservoir (although not blue), etc. I don't know if the pedals are a direct swap from one version to the other and I don't know about shifter location.

They would have taken the shifter console off to put the better carpeting in. The clutch pedal on the floor is a common symptom of a failed clutch slave.

If this was a trans swap - there are no obvious (to me anyway) clues that this ever took place. It would certainly be way beyond the capabilities of these losers.

NH is know for rust free cars.

1,825 and reserve is still not met.

I think it had a buy it now for $8999? An engine fire would be that car's best friend right now.

From the video it might actually be a 1.8l as it certainly does not sound like it is running on all 4 all the time.
