Okay thanks guys, i understand what you are saying about possible mods and the car being put back to stock before it left the owner. It has a car fax and states its a 3 owner car which traded hands in Pennsylvania, and maryland than they bought it at auction and has been for sale since june. I guess they are holding out, though i can't think of anyone who would pay that high for a car without a shift knob.

Talked to Metro Ford again, they just removed it so it wouldn't get stolen.

Not sure my memory is correct, but at one time I was advised to be wary about cars that traded in PA. Reason was that PA has loopholes in regs that allowed "covering tracks" of a vehicle.

Don't know if this helpful or just worrisome. Just be extra careful

AP1 converted to AP2; 106k miles, $13,900

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...309398337.html

I emailed him/her a few questions (carfax, vin, mods by previous owners, etc.), awaiting response. Any early comments? One concern I have is that it could have been in terrible shape before the AP2 conversion. Possibly wrecked by previous owner.

Seems like a classic case where the owner has more in the car than it is worth. With the mods he did it will always be a Frankenstein S2K. As it sits it is not a collector car as the owner indicates. I would get tired of explaining that it is an AP1 made to look like and AP2...no thank you! For not a lot more money you can get into an actual stock AP2, with lower miles.
Just my .02.

Yeah, I was waiting for someone else to say this too. I just paid the same for a clean, original 75k mile AP1. I personally would prefer a straight up AP1 or a genuine AP2 for more money, where it's more clear what you've actually got.

Thanks for the feedback all. Hearing these second opinions are really helpful.

What would a 01 Silverstone with 80k miles two owner car go for. Clean tittle and in great condition.
