    They didn't vertically ;). Losing the body colored panel on the rear bonnet over the engine is not a styling plus, and "tilting"? the enlarged black louvre section up to clear the "sandwich" air cleaner is "eek" (needs a body-colored "chiclet"). Not having a closed air cleaner housing connected to the RH scoop fresh air inlet is downright 308 sacrilege...

    PS I hope whoever buys this lowers the front coachwork a bunch...

    I like how tidy it looks under the hood, with the exceptionof the air cleaner. Wonder what they are asking, but too afraid to ask haha

    How did they do this? Is that engine sitting on a regular 308 gearbox?

    Looks tidy. Engine alone is pretty valuable so I wonder what they're asking.

    Was curious and just chatted with Gary Sewell at 832-791-5410 about the car. Really nice gentleman who's been in the business for decades. he said they are asking $109K
