Wrong wheels at the very least. I'd get the VIN and run it by SLP.

Yeah, these guys like the scam business. Like 99 Formula M6 said, do a search and you'll see. They suck.

Yeah, check in the Special Edition Vehicles forum. I feel sorry for whoever buys that POS, which was probably wrecked and put back together.

How do they have a 100% feedback if they rip people off so much. No bad feedback for the past year.

I emailed them saying that I was going to tell Ebay and SLP that they are selling bogus stuff. Wonder what kind of rise I'm going to get out of them.

They have 100% feeback b/c you can get it taken off by paying ebay 20 buck. If the person that gave them bad feedback doesn't take it off by request.

Yeah i was discussing this car with a friend of mine. Not to buy it or anything, just looking at what's wrong with it. At first we thought it was a v-6 but then we noticed the ls1 engine. Also, if you look at the back, it looks like the car had CME.

Good guess, but you are wrong. It's actually a REAL SS, although it has been wrecked and rebuilt. They are selling a REAL Firehawk that has been wrecked and rebuilt with non-firehawk parts as well.

Yeah on the other thread we were going to burn them and someone ran the vins. They turned out to be real cars, just rebuilt wrecks.

but that CE WS6 they are selling has to be fake!!
Another thing about this company is that is that they do "ws-6 conversions" and market them as WS-6's. I guess that's how they do buisness.


Salvage Rebuilt CE WS6

Salvage Rebuilt SS

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...552401680&rd=1

Non WS6 (they didn't even come in this color), but being marketed as " PONTIAC TRANS AM WS-6 RAM AIR PKG"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...556897342&rd=1

Salvaged Hawk rebuilt with non Hawk parts

http://www.texastoys.com/all_big.php?car_id=82

On most of these rebuilt wrecks, they try to hide the mention of the salvage title except for one little sentence in the description. Hope people don't fall for this crap.
