Default Salvage SRT6 in Houston

2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6

Anyone recognise this one ? It's got an intake, pillar pods, and an exhaust...wonder if there is more to it than they're telling .........otherwise a relatively simple fix with a Eurocharged (or stock ) pulley ?

Hmm just noticed it states 'clear title' .........

Has anyone been able to take a look at this car? I called villi and he says he has a clear normal title for it and NOT a salvage title. I would fly down to see/purchase/fix this car if I was sure it would drive me back to CO.

I have both parts and would go get this once he gives me a good VIN. Any one near there from the forum to check it out real quick before I commit to this? I just want to make sure it is ligit.

He says it runs, but how well without a supercharger ? ..........we know what happens when the IC pump fails .........
It is actually located in League city according to the link, which is closer to Galveston, maybe someone on the South side could take a look. I am on the NW side unfortunately, which is about 65 miles from League city .......

Hmm that's a body shop, just off N Shepard near I-45,so unfortunately still 25/30 miles from me, but if it was just a pulley, and oil cooler I wonder why he doesn't fix it before selling ?

it doesnt appear to be the oil cooler
it looks to me to be the air pump hose
otherwise i think there would be oil all over the place
i queried him last weekend about the title

if he is on parker rd it would be iah (bush)
if hes actually in league city, hobby (southwest airlines)
or you could put it on an auto transport for about 6-700$
and take the worry out of driving an unknown quantity

Looks like it's the one Texas Direct had for sale 1-2 years ago, that Nathan (Tx_xfire) went to look at, maybe he'll chip in as to what it was like then.
Wonder if it got repo'd ?

Someone needs to tell Rudy or Paul about this...last I heard they were looking for a cheap crossfire to try and stuff a V12TT into it. This may be a candidate.
