It looks like he used the nose of a Citation for the rear. It probably works much better going backwards than forwards (4 reverse gears?).
In reply to Indy-Guy:
Thank you for that. That's going on our Facebook page.
Is putting a C5 nose and tail on a C4 going to become a thing? I hope not

That looks terrible.

Elio mated with a Zundapp, with random 80s GM bodywork tossed on top.
Well, since it's got the extra powerbands, the asking price makes sense 
1998 Ford Contour SVT blown motor, blue leather interior couple dents rusting out on the bottom, through two rods and pistons, and cracked the oil pan. 5 speed stick shift manual, clutch good, shifts fine power roof controls work fine. butterflies opened improperly on the motor causing stress and pistons and stuff to bind causing the motor to stress, and end results blowing 2 pistons and rods.
Seen this one a few times when I occasionally look and see if any cheap Biturbos have popped up nearby:
1990 Chrysler TC 'Rare Find'- $7900
Yeah, it's a 'rare find' because nobody wants them- especially for $8k! I'll give them credit for it looking surprisingly good for its age though, but not $8k good.
This biturbo has been on my local cl for over a year at the same price. 3500 and supposedly runs and drives. After being listed for so long, I really need to wonder about it.

Idiot Seller said: Classic 2nd gen Firebird with a 3spd Automatic turbo 400 transmission and only 51K original miles on the chassis. This Bird has a recently installed 1970 Buick 455 engine from an Electra, depicted. The engine has the original smog free carb from the last year of production before all the power robbing regulations came into play. Also, equipped with an aftermarket steering wheel. Interior is in good condition. Paint was primed, but then previous owner rattle canned it. Make it your own color of choice. Body is straight, even the undercarriage. Mufflers and pipes are in great condition. Nice modern CD radio and four speakers sound great! If I get the bird painted, or put any other substantial investment into it, that will alter the bottom line price. Sorry but this isn't a late model rapidly depreciating car. Collectors know the less it needs the more you're going to pay. Keep this in mind when you balance price vs. what you can do yourself. I have $5617.19 in documented receipts of all repairs already done on this car since I bought it. Plus another $330 spent that I lost the receipts for. Yes you guessed it, I'm losing money if I sell it for less than $8947.19. If I don't sell it I'm keeping it. No problem.
This guy has been trying to sell this flat green Turd Bird on local CL and Facebook groups for over a year now. He thinks that his 1981 BASE Firebird is worth all the money, as if it was a 1977 black and gold Trans Am. Sorry dude, just because you swapped in some greaseball Buick 455 in it doesn't make it a "classic". This thing is a parts car or $2000 beater AT BEST, no matter how much money you wasted on it. And whenever he posts it up, people try to tell him this, and he freaks out.
Crapball car? Check.
Delusional price based on Barrett-Jackson auction results for models with actual value? Check.
Defensive, yet aggressive 'tude? Check.
I have a feeling that he'll be "Keeping it. No problem." for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

That's a TC, not a Biturbo- the Biturbos are a lot sexier looking (and more unreliable it would seem). The hard top is nice though- I can see that price being closer to what a collector would be willing to pay vs. over twice that for the one near me.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the regular LeBaron was a much better looking car than the Maseratti TC.
How about $4500 for a non-running Mk3 Supra Turbo in primer. If it's such an easy fix to get it running, why not do it, then there's a chance the car might be worth what you are asking. But right now, I see an ugly non-runner with some aftermarket parts (some of which are not verifiable without a tear down), for way too much money.

1990 Toyota supra 5spd targa top 135.555 miles blue leather white package. The car does have a straight body, it needs paint. I do have paint that comes with it (factory white) The car needs a little of attention interior wise. The driver seat isn't the best. And the center console isn't the best as well. The car has a bomex front bumper. The car has a two pod pillar. Good tires on 18" Msr wheels everything on the car does work electrical wise. It does have a clean ky title.
Engine The engine was completely rebuild around 29.000 miles ago with some goodies. It's still has oem internals. It has King bearing (Rods and mains) head torqued to 90 ft lb 550cc's HKS air filter Maf adapter Lexus afm Ct-26 51 trim upgrade 12 psi The head was actually built from steven Jesse ( he worked for Titan motor sports about 8 or 9 years ago it has been ported and polished with a 3 angle valve job. So the head is good for 20- psi It has a full stainless 3 inch exhaust kicked with divorced down pipe (700$) Hks sqv 2.5" intercooler. Aem air fuel gauge Boost gauge Dual electric fans on aluminum shroud. The car comes with the original head. It comes with tons of back up parts. Relays etc
Transmission R154 with marlin crawler thrust washers and etc does work and shift just fine.
The only problem to this car is it does not run.. It needs either a cam position sensor or a coil replaced. 4500 or obo.. I have well over 2k worth of aftermarket parts. Do not waste our time with low ball offers. If you have trades please let me know what you have.. Not really interested in trades. But you never know. These cars are becoming hard to find and there price is only going to continue to go up like the mk4 supras.
I'm about 90% that this is a scam (price is too low, email emblazoned on the picture, and I'm pretty certain that picture was not taken here), but even if it's not the description still looks like a word soup run through Google Translate a few times...

This automobile will surely improve along with the turbo, hitting freeway pace is no problem. The seating warmers certainly are a additionally. Stability regulate works very well, keeps the car really going right without getting far too vulnerable and kicking on too often. The most popular features are definitely the quietness along with the smoothness of your drive - astounding. Interior decorating; cozy seating I see this automobile as being extremely functional and made use of by any/all family members. Want some thing fun, comfortable and stylish with fantastic gas mileage. This automotive has good energy resource financial state and trips highly effortlessly, but when you placed the sports car in sports activity option it actually transforms perfectly into a high end monster.
Haha "sports activity" I hope my next car has a sport button that I can relabel Sports Activity Option

I think you pegged the scam thing (it was pretty obvious). It's been flagged for removal.

Yes, it may be the only one in Georgia. Still, for $4000, I'd expect it to have an intact rear window.
