Default 2002 CETA for sale in Long Beach

has anyone else seen the CETA on Ocean Blvd in Long Beach for sale? Its got Antracite TTMs, claims to be a full Blackbird conversion car. it has the GMMG exhaust. The sticker price was over 40K new. Didnt list a price, but someone should definitely pick it up

UPDATE: the guy wants 29,000 for it. Not sure why its listed at 41. Here is the ad.

I'm not seeing any of the items that signify it's a true "Blackbird".

A Blackbird CETA? A rare car if it is.

From what I understand, they don't just convert cars. For example, I can't say "hey, I want to convert my car to a Blackbird" and bring it to Carl Black and get it done.

Then again, who knows, maybe they had a few vins left they could do it on.

But, where are the badges/emblems on the side of the car, front of the hood, the number on the rear view mirror, the number on the windshield, the badge on the lid? **** like that.

No no no, I'm not saying Blackbirds aren't real or there can't be a CETA Blackbird. What I am saying is that I did not believe you could buy a car, then take it to get converted. I had not heard of that before. That's not how the original Blackbirds were done.

That's what I'm referring to.

Personally, I wouldn't believe it until it was confirmed by the dealership. That's just a bunch of people speculating in a thread (like me in this one).
