Here is an email I had gotten back from him.

Hello there,
Thanks for your email !
First of all I would like to tell you that the car is located in Quebec, Canada as I recently moved here. I received a good job here and along with the job I received a new car. I have no use for the car anymore so I am forced to sell it below the market value. The full price is $4,390.00 US dollars with shipping included to your location. I have a clean title ready to be signed. The car has no electrical or mechanical problems, never been involved in any kind of accidents. 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. We will use eBay Motors to manage the payment because it is the safest way for both of us and also you will have 3 days to inspect the car before I receive the money. Also, a refund policy will be included. In order to start the official transaction, I need to know your details:
- Full name and Shipping address

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

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.
