It may not be a fake, but someone has traded out the OE hood at one time, for some reason, ...
(Original hood damaged?!?)
Price is ridiculous, ..., :lol:

That advertisement has so much bullshit in it, ..., :roll:

Car is real and verified.

With that said, the hood is not original.

The scoops on the hood are too tall, so it's not a stock ws6 hood. Looks stupid, actually.

There's a thread here somewhere, regarding this car. Owner says he has the original hood, he just put the "ws6" hood on it to make it look more muscular & appealing. And per the original thread, the bicycles are a nice touch.

Got to get Mac Logan in here. This is the one he had me look at and I tried to deal on. It was in Canada in a dealership about 2 months ago. That's why it looked familiar to me. The dealer wanted $22 or $23k. I bet this is that car. If this is that car, it's 100% real and very well taken care of. How this Detroit dealer got it is beyond me!
Mac needs to chime in

Hi Guys,

Headed down to see this car on Sunday. This is the same one I pointed you to Dragan. It was a screaming deal then. Not now.

The car is real. The original owner had a couple hawk convertibles including Zeke's old '02 SOM ragtop. Current owner does not have the original hood. WTF??
