+/-.5L of displacement, depending on who you ask?

I thought that must have been a typo (albeit an oddly precise one) until I saw the pics.

WHY?

Those are some dark assed pics. What engine am I looking at ?

So cheap 20B candidate?
Looks like a Miata 1.8l (edit description states that but you need to dig for it in mobile view).
Why would you do that?

The transplanted Miata interior doesn't exactly help either.

It's been for sale on the Cincinnati Craigslist for a while.

I love both cars separately, but together? Small town in Texas..

In reply to wvumtnbkr:

The chain link above the emoticons in the reply window. Make sure to include the http or HTTPS otherwise it tries to link inside the GRM domain.

Or use the a href= html tags

On top of all the other WTFs, the temp tag just screams "I bought this, realized it's a POS/broke something, and am trying to offload it within 30 days"

What's an FD rolling chassis worth? Dark pics would seem to indicate that the car is unfit to be viewed in the light of day, so probably not even a good place to start.

Well there were certainly some interesting choices made there...

That's not a terrible price for an FD roller though, from what I've seen. This thing has been kicking around local CL for a few weeks now.

Miata engine and interior, useless title, and it's been wrecked three times - including a rollover! What could possibly go wrong!?!

Don't even get me started on the fake nitrous bottle in back or the other little details...

Wow. Just... wow. WTF?

A whole bunch of the sheet metal in the front has been cut out, you'd need some donor metal if you wanted to convert it back to a stock-ish FD. The headlights are from the NA Miata as well. I wonder if it's actually got the FD headlight covers, or the NA ones? There aren't any shots with the headlights down, so...

In fact, I almost wonder if it's the front of a Miata welded to the back of an FD or something stupid like that. It's got 5-lug wheels in the front, and what little I can see of the shock towers looks more FD than NA, so probably not.

As for roller prices, I think a car in good condition with interior minus only the drivetrain might go for $10K. This one... Ulch.

Whoa. Great catch.
