I believe that is a magnacharger... but, I could be wrong, but from what I have seen, that is a SC. Were you being sarcastic when you quoted the turbocharger? Hmmmm, oh well, maybe it is a turbo... but I've seen pics of engines just like that and they are described as MAGNACHARGER, hmmmm

I think he was being sarcastic. In the description of the car it says "superman tubercarger package." I think he might have been referring to that.

Tell ya one thing. If this car was built by LPE like mine was. They will have the Vin# and record of the car and owner. They keep all records. So maybe check with them.

That is not a repo. It is a seized vehicle. $40 g's is too much for me.

It shows up when you open the door, with or without keys.

Those pics don't look like it was seized. They look like they were taken at someone's home etc... How you gona move it with no key etc...It would be blocking the drive etc... Unless these pic were taken before it was seized etc...

It's clearly turbocharged.

I've seen that car on the 'net before as well. Very cool car.

Now that the aution has ended.. I wonder what their intentions are about what they will do w/ the car? I wonder if they will keep it ot what the city will do with it?
