For our protection we can use eBay Motors to complete the transaction. The deal will go strictly according to eBay rules and policy. I want you to know that I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you.

Haven't been there for ages. I should check in and see how everything is doing. See if it has turned into focuspower.

Even if it was real would you buy a car with an engine bay looking like that?

Patalrob · Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:45 am

That came with the car, it was sold as the Saleen N20.

The N20 came with rear drums as standard but upgraded fronts and disc rears were optional.
