Hello Gang,
This one just hit the samba a few hours ago. Red FIberfab. Based on what I'm seeing, it's a wee bit overpriced ($16,500 !?)
It's in need of some serious TLC (shabby dash, questionable interior, red paint over spray, all chrome blacked out, 1500cc motor, etc.) Someone hit it with the big end of the ugly stick. Poor thing.
Maybe go in with a 11-12k offer and then slowly revive the ole girl?

I hope he gets what he is asking.
That's the spirit! Me too. It drives the price up for all of us.
IMHO a potential buyer has to assume that it is a "total project resto..plan on spending on top of a purchase price...a minimum of $ $9k to $10k to make it a decent safe speedster. It's worth $6k tops as it rolls.
I can't tell if the rear bumper is too low or if the tail lights are too high.

It almost looks like they aren't attached, but hanging on something just for the picture...
looks like the ends of the bumper taper off down on an angle, the shape is good, looks like a good base to work from, bit of a blank canvas, if you wanted to see some prices that will make you wonder whether people drink when placing ads, then look no further at what happens in australia, Im sure they are nice cars, just not quite worth this much, in my personal opinion.

The links take you to a screen that reads, "We currently have no cars matching your search.".
Seems like there's a lot of drug use down there, Aussie. That's the only thing that could explain those prices.

All I can say is, "WOW"!!!! What are those guys thinking?
One the second one. The first straight side shot, the rear panel deck look like 356 C. And the front wheel is centered in the wheel well!
Nice finish work!
Oh, et ooo, I just did the AUD to USD....oouch $97.5 K USD. That's a new Boxster here, or a really cherry used 993. Next
Are those cars priced in AUD or USD? (I'll need to check the exchange rate...)
I will say that both of those cars have front bumpers that fit better than mine. I don't think my front bumper has that big flat lip on the top like those two examples. I've often wondered if my front bumper was on upside down... 
TRP; Today's ex rate $.75/1.00
They are in aussie dollars, these people will never get this much for them. I have seen much better cars for much much less. I will personally eat my shoes if somebody pays this much for them.
