Can It Be True?

Here's a rare one....if it's true...
If it is it's only the third or fourth I've every seen in the US. Love to pick it up, though....

I wonder where he got that one? Must be an original European vehicle?

That's no Euro, look at the bumpers....and it wouldn't be the first time Autotrader had a 5-speed that was four forward and one reverse.

Dammit, I forgot, for the briefest of moments, that we are not dealing with a genius here.

It says 5-speed manual and then later says AT..... I'm going to bet it's an auto.

Yeah, only 23.

Maybe this one will not make 500k either. These cars are well known for that.

4 forward and one reverse = 5 speed? Hmmm, thats a new twist not even a desparate ebayer has thought of. At least not yet....LOL

Cheers,

Bill
