That VIN shows up in the SRT6 VIN list and is listed as a SALVAGE TITLE..... interestingly that pic of the title is titled as 'salvage srt'......

I looked it up on there as well and saw it was listed as salvage. I am from Colorado and am not familiar with Texas Titles but it looks like a regular title as far as I can see. In CO we have salvage in red on those type of titles so who can say. Are you familiar with Texas titles?

Thanks for your concern and I do plan on caution as there is always somebody trying as scam and I do not want to be the victim.

In Texas the a clean title looks exactly like a salvage title except there will be a note on it stating salvage. You should request for them to email a picture of the title and do a Car Fax. If this car was ever salvaged and now has a clean title, that would be title washing and is highly illegal and someone is going to jail.

I pretty much think the price tells it all ..........nobody is going to sell a clear title SRT6 for $7 1/2k when all it needs is a supercharger clutch and oil cooler, (available from parting SLK32's as well as crossfire) and then they could get going rate $12-13K easy ............suspicious to me

Washing is WAY too easy---Saw it TOO often when I bought cars at the auction---Carfax yes, but that is the START not the LAST word---Have this car put on a lift and CHECK it out---If you do not know how---Find someone who does---Price is WAY low for clear, but maybe!!! Good luck and DOUBLE check this one!

Yea.... 114 7th St in League City is a residential house right next to a graveyard...lol.

I just went by there... I did not see a SRT-6 out in the yard or anything....so, make sure you call them to set everything straight before you go to view/drive or anything.

Salvage vehicle database

Google search on the vin doesn't look too promising as far as having found a diamond in a goat's a$$....

It just may be a diamond in a goat's a$$. On the insurance website, it doesn't identify the title type. Cars with clear titles sell at insurance auctions all the time. Whoever really wants this car should pony up quickly for a car fax and jump on it if it is clear. At this price do we know if the car is still there?
