Astounding.
"This car needs a complete restoration"---this guy has a keen grasp of the obvious.
This opportunity will be very tempting to a lot of folks.

What recession?????
At least it has Beehives
At least it has Beehives
that will buff out
Not only is the seller a master at stating the obvious, he's also on crack.
Acapulco gold ......some bad ass weed ~
But they were "entry level" beehives.
If Vince thinks that car has beehives, then I've got a sheet metal drill that will make four very nice holes in the back of your car too!
That price on that car is a perfect example of why the whole replica car industry exists.

You guys missed the point here. If I had the $80K and was not almost completed with my IM-6 I would buy the car in a heartbeat. If you do the restoration yourself (and I can) you could be done for another $30K.
$110K for a car that could be auctioned for $150K or more.
Sure smells like a deal to me. There are only 4,157 originals out there..........;-)

100% correct my friend.

Hmmm... I kinda think that you could spend at least $30k on the body alone.
U GUYS SHOULD COOL IT
THAT MEANS TERI WILL HAVE TO SPEND IN EXCESS OF 150K TO FIX VINCES BODY

Lane,
If you do it yourself the tin repair panels are cheap. I have all the skills and tools needed to everything other than the finish paint. $30K tops but even if you gave yourself a $10K cushion your still making money.
I wish I had cash to invest.

I would drive that car -- after I added lights and ditched the single bumper guard -- just the way it is.
I would think that doing a little here and a little there would be possible. I don't see any holes in the floor, the nose looks more or less solid, there aren't any pieces missing from the engine ... It looks like a decent enough car overall. Plus the numbers match?
I really think somebody's going to hit a home run with that car.
I wonder if Carey could build me one that looks like that. Hmmm.

It might go for a little more because of the nice keychain.
In my daydream, I would buy that car and do nothing more than replace the seats with a couple of beach chairs. Then I'd drive it to the next P-car gathering and just stand by to revel in the comments from the peanut gallery!
...I'm just wired that way....bwaaaaaa
...I'm just wired that way....bwaaaaaa
....with a Yugo key fob too.....
I just love that the owner has the hub caps on the car, ya know, just to give it a cleaner, more finished look. ;)
Someone needs to weigh that car... I think that thing is worth more then its weight in gold....
If I had the chance I would buy it too, restore it and sell it. Just to say I had an original and prefer the fake to all the anal retentive real Porsche owners at those dam concorses events......

Two days and the car is sold........nuff said!
Dave, you were right-on-the-money. Someone saw this as an opportunity and went for it ( and also had the spare cash).
Ron,
Spare cash.......right now I have got to find a little more to pay Henry.....;-)
Timing is everything.

Spare is the key word here... If I were to invest 80K the only spare I'd be looking for is a spare bedroom cause Lili would've kicked my A$$ out of ours!
I am a lucky guy. If, I did have the extra bucks, Kim would have no problem with me trailering that one back home ~
