Looks like a nice car, but hard to tell with the photos provided. Does anyone know this car?

well, that car can't be registered in Calif due to the modified motor and lack of emission equipment. BUT, with a starting bid of $10k, wouldn't you expect a battery and all 4 spark plug wires so that you know the car runs

The battery and the wires puzzled me too.

Yeah - the plug wires and battery are really weird - unless the current owner doesn't know anything about cars. I think he is saying the current engine only has 16K miles on it.

I would expect someone on X web to know that car

Good idea. I've never owned an X (nor do I have one), but have seen some really nice ones with DOHC engine swaps and big HP turbo motors. Starting to think about my next project and might try an X.
