    You mean that it's not a true SS? I'm not sure if you know this or not, but a lot of private party sellers try to screw over buyers like that, because when people look up values, they go by trim level.

    Or were you refering to the sweet custom intake?

    I was going to say there is something wrong with the fuse box cover, but they all seem to have that piece that doesn't look like it belongs.

    That's what I'm seeing, too. I love the Monte interior, but I can't stand its exterior attributes in the rear. Not my cup of tea I guess.

    Its got one of those fancy intakes that makes a whoosh sound when you hit the go pedal. I'd at least check it out even if I wasn't going to buy it.

    Yep definitely a CT kit. You can tell by the BOV. Looks like they are using a M90 block off which you can tell from the L67 cover and how it's bolted on.

    Yeah, I really want it. 22K miles for $15,000 5.7L would be pretty nice to have. I would have to under coat the hell out of it too.
