Default looked at a for sale Bonneville today

So i was driving around heading to the carwash when i see this white Bonneville backed into a driveway that says for sale, so i whipped a U-Turn and went and looked for the sake of nothing better to do.
It has the SSEi badges on it, SE front bumper/air dam set up, SE tail lights, silver cross lace wheels, Dark leather interior, and SE gages...
Im wondering if maybe this is a SE/SC? ..still leads me to think someone tossed SSEi badging on it..
Nice car though, very clean, and white..possibly cursed!

Sounds like an SE that someone badged as SSEi, the only way to find out is to go back and ask to see under that white hood

Possibly cursed !! LMAO

Maybe its cursed, got into a crash, and got fixed so someone decided to slap SSEi badges on it

Is it the supercharged badge, or is it the SSEi Supercharged badge?

Check it out.

Good point. If it'* the SSEi with Supercharged under it, someone may have just put those badges on there. Or maybe it'* an SE with an L67 swap. But I'd definitely pop the hood, and if it'* an N/A under there don't let the owner get away with it too easily

Ok, then maybe it'* an SE/SC and he wanted the different badges. Hopefully it isn't a young kid who thought it would be cool to make people think he had an SC engine.
