real oem has an image of it. I tried to cut and paste it into here, but it won't work. It's called "lifting jack" and it is in the "equipment parts" (could that be more vague) section.

If you ever sell it on ebay, I believe you would describe the car as having "the beginnings of surface rust in some areas". Add blurry pictures taken in strange lighting conditions.

I did see it and had the same thought - it looked pretty "all there" and not too funky/scary. Wonder what it will go for in the end? The Turbo is really one of the few cars I truly covet.
