Been looking continuously on Ebay and saw this MC just pop up...valve covers have been hydro dipped but looks clean besides that. Seems pretty tough to find that low of a MC for sale these days.

I see that the doors panels have been removed at some point and not properly reinstalled. I also see caster camber plates from lowering.

Steeda heat shield and strut bar also on top of what’s already been mentioned. With a 34K asking price that may be tough to catch.

Could be just the car man, mine has that issue with the door panels and I never removed them.

I would want a compression test on that motor without a doubt. Something tells me this one has a sad story
Doesn't have to be sad. Those are the same mods most of us do. I wouldn't pay 34k though. But then I'm cheap.

Thats just the door panel peeling. Mine is doing the same thing. And the spot its peeling from doesn't do anything with being removed. I'll fix it one of these days.

I thought it was a 6XXX mile mc I had seen a couple years ago on another forum and the guy that had bought it said the motor turned out to be hurt and had to be rebuilt very soon after buying it. But looking at the carfax right now, I don't believe thats the same location iirc so probably mistaken identity.

Either way, compression tests are never a bad idea

I saw it and the only issue I had was the strut tower brace and the CC plates. I can always put the stock intake back on, put the stock valve covers back on. But, did he drill holes for the CC plates and he STB? I know the MM CC plates need a hole drilled but would the ones on this car need it?

Low mileage MCs are hard to find. Someone out there might happily pay $34K (or close to it) for this one, assuming the engine checks out fine. Which it likely will. With mileage that low, it's doubtful it's been routinely driven hard or abused. The mods appear to be basic and the owner probably more focused on improved handling without having to go with lowering springs. JMO.

The typical 3-bolt CC plates don't need any holes drilled like the 4-bolt MM versions. Unfortunately, the STB required holes.

Also, Terminators from mid-'03 on had gold coolant and this one has green - at least in the S/C reservoir - the blower may have been off the car as well for any number of reasons.

You're right. I know a guy who paid $43,000 for a 10K mile Mystichrome coupe on a FB group. Someone will pay for this car. I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already in contact with him trying to negotiate the price down to $31K-$32K for a fast sale.

I noticed the green coolant too. Maybe the prior owner took it to a garage (or he did the maintenance himself) and put in green coolant to change fluids.
