Hate me if you will, but this looks like the fox body of Mercedes vehicles.

Oil? what oil.

Neutral: Hydrogen Or Batteries?

Included with the sale is a complimentary 15,000cm spool of Contintental 3.5mm Cloth Bodied Vacuum Line.

You’ll need it.

$9500 for something that doesn’t run and is missing key parts? And has evidence of being mistreated (underbody scrapes and broken front turn signal lense)? AAANND they say the interior was disassembled with no pictures of the current state of the interior?

Sooooooooooooo...... wouldn’t it make more sense to either find a cheaper shell oooooor I dunno, buy an actual running car and enjoy it while you gather parts for your engine swap? Oh and I know this may sound crazy, BUT, if you do an engine swap on a running car you could sell the factory engine! Wee!

That already exists.

Theft recovery? Could explain the missing parts..

Horrible idea. You can find used boxsters with running engines and trannies for 10-15k. Wtf Tavarish?

If you lobbed a zero off the price it might be worth it to do an EV conversion just to piss everybody off.

At least buy one with a clean title...

This is an exceptionally bad idea, even by very unrealistic “balling on a budget” Jalopnik standards. You might mention that this is a complete and total non starter for the 33 million people in California, where a car like this would not pass smog, CARB or ever be legal to register. You can probably add New York to…

What is this software you speak of? Perhaps it's buried und all those EPA mandated vaccum hoses?
