My best guess on this car is a threft recovery. Some tools went out joy riding and totaled it then stripped it. That would explain the wrong interior and the body damage. The wheels were probably nabbed too which is why the rattle canned a set of standard WS6 wheels. Its a very poor attempt at repairing a rare car

gauges are the same as regular TAs and as stated before the only ti tell if it is a real CETA is by the VIN or the Z15 option code on the door.

I knew it was real when I saw the color lol.. It would be way too much work to completely repaint a random fbody to try and fake the funk hah

But yeah, I bet it's been wrecked and or stolen.. not much to it

Are they trying to pass this off as a CETA, it seems to be missing ALOT. I see no badge on the dash giving a number.

The rear quarter and bumper was repainted. look at the close up of the rear plate you see they sprayed the screw yellow that hold the light. They alos sprayed over the rubber coating at the rear wheels. It's a C.E. Just a banged up one.
