I was thinking it had AC.
Now that you have mentioned a Super Charger. I believe you are correct sir.

OMG, what a shame.
If it was a real Heb once, they've totally destroyed it.

You'll have a lot more to do than just replace the suspension. And we haven't seen the interior yet.
But if you like it, that's fine, but I don't.
