Yeah, that's not a WS6, it doesn't even sound like a real T/A. As far as I know, all T/A's had leather and steering wheel radio controls.
Check close to make sure it isn't a V6 car that's been converted.

the guy claims it is by the rpo codes but it doesnt show them.. i haven't seen the car in person just pics.
i was kinda thinkin it was a v6 car but i was wanted to make sure they didn't make a few like this. but it does have an ls1 with an m6 and t/a spoiler/hatch and front bumper, i know these can be changed but you know.

After looking at the pics, it's definitely an original 6-cyl converted to a LS1. The lid is an offset V6 lid and T/As came with a 150mph speedometer and leather standard.

Yeah, I saw that but there are just way too many inconsistencies with the pics. I have a feeling that if this was actually an original WS6, at some point it was stolen and stripped then rebuilt with what ever the "builder" had lying around (mostly V6 parts); either that or it is a bogus VIN. Another thing that's wrong is that it has a charcoal dash (2002 models had ebony dashes). Overall, there is just something wrong with the whole thing and I could only imagine the bag of headaches that may come with the car.

I check the vin and it checks out as real but hell i could do that to you just have to break down th Vin. This is a scam that this guy is trying to get off on an unsuspecting person.

That whole car is confusing. The rear speaker panels, doors, and console are all the correct color for 02, the dash itself (excluding the radio bezel is not). The seats are definitely not original (the door panels have leather in them sou can see the car had black leather), neither is the steering wheel (V6 car steering wheel). The lid setup is a V6 lid and it looks like it has a pre 01 motor by the EGR (nobody would put an LS1 intake on an 02 motor WITH the EGR hooked up, you'd have to buy the EGR setup and it looks like they did this on the cheap). My guess is that it was a was either stolen and completely stripped, or was a pretty modded race car that got put back to stock from a V6 car they had laying around.
