Unfortunately, what they say in the ad is not true. The car is not a one owner vehicle and they do not have all documentation on the car. It does have 21k on it, but when I had it, I was the 3rd or 4th owner and it was sold to a guy in Florida. I don't know if it ever made it to Florida as he took care of the paperwork and shipping. The Work VSXX wheels were on the car when I got it. I did not have any documentation from the previous owners.

This is their shot of the engine compartment.

Here is mine. I put those 2 zip ties on the ac line as a bolt from the tail was rubbing on it. Same marks on the intercooler as well.

I have generally found them to be pretty straight forward on cars and I surprised they are taking the low road.

You know, that's what I thought. They could easily pull a Carfax on the car and it would show it is not a 1 owner car. I just hope any Pelican interested in the car, sees this thread.

When I shipped out the car in December 2009 it had a GHL cat bypass on it. I still have the original cat as the buyer did not want to pay for shipping. The ac system has been converted to R134, but has a slow leak. There was also a slight leak in the power steering pump. I also changed out the stock diverter valve for a Forge 007 diverter valve with a green spring. The right side "sharks fin" had a big tear underneath that has been epoxied.

Wanted to take a moment to thank WPOZZZ for pointing out our error in the posting of the 964 Turbo. We take pride in how we conduct our business and have a tendency to take people at there word. We were told it is a one owner car and the fact that it has spent it's whole life in Hawaii, we took it as fact. The Florida buyer is a reseller that we buy quite a few cars from. Those of you who know us know we try to shoot as straight as possible and didn't purposely try to mislead anyone.

Thanks for straightening that out. I figured Philip would be flipping the car sooner or later and even wondered if it made it to Florida. What about the catalytic converter? If you're interested in it, PM me.
