First time I've ever seen someone try to do this before. Here's the link:

It's basically just the hatch and the C pillar emblems. Not hard to do. Doesn't look like he got any of the other series 1 details.

I think its two different cars!  The coloring is way off.  Just a skeptic here though. 

I won't trust anything on CL.

 Poor job of fitting that early hatch. My skeptical mind wonders if the rear had been damaged and that was the reason for the hatch and bumper changes. Hard to believe anyone would go to the trouble of replacing the hatch and bumpers to do a half-a$$ed job of making it look a couple of years older. The owner may have found early parts for the alleged repair and went with those. Throw in a couple of early C pillar emblems and voila, the year transformation? is complete.

I sure hope we aren't headed to an era where people are turning everything into "Series Ones" because they're worth more.

With the recent spike in prices, I wouldn't be surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Hmmmm. I should be in Albuquerque late in December.  I may have to look at that.

If it's relatively rust-free, $6100 seems pretty cheap, true?

Anybody interested in that car?  I am in the same city where that car is for a few days, can go look though I am not an expert looker.
