Just remember what he said in the auction:
"YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS GUARANTEED!"
Yeah, I'm sure everyone wishes they had one like that. And the fact that it either: needs a new BOV, needs a tune, or needs a new engine -- that tells you this guys is really some kind of genius.
It's a shame, because the before pics on the left look really nice; that probably isn't the same car though -- it was some beat up trashed car probably.
