the more i look at some of the strange things some previous owner did under the hood of my car i'm thinking there was a supercharger there at one point in time. first there is a hole made in the fenderwall next to the battery where air to the charger is supplied on some charged shos. the washer tank was relocated. the motor pull tab is gone and all the electronics to the left of the airbox are relocated. i was told when i bought it it was on its second motor. it does have other performance mods on it still, eibachs, tokicos, sho shop exhaust. it did have strut braces which someone took off at some point. all this seems odd.

Yep, used to be S/C'd. Blew up first engine, person sold off performance parts and stuck another engine in. Seen that happen a number of times.

Thanks Fonz, that's who I was thinking of.

If that car was from Revere, then it was RevereSHO's car.

ya if it has insanly dark windows it is mine and maybe a dent in the rear driver side then its def mine. i blew the motor, sold off all the performance parts, but left the exhaust, and suspension. i actually gave the car to a friend cause i didnt have room for it anymore and my new toy now is a 07 charger srt8 this toy will be superchargerd hopefully by next summer. maybe one day we can meet up sometime i would love to see how that car turned out it actually pained me to get rid of it.

ya it had window tints the guys at the inspection station made me take them out and the blueish headlight bulbs. i knocked out the dent pretty good and gave it some touch paint for now, i plan to have it fixed at some point. theres a small rust spot on the passengers side rear door jam i'm gonna get fixed in the spring when i put it back on the road after winter. it runs great and shifts great
