Putting this re-listed outlaw in the proper forum

Car has been listed on eBay and other sites for quite some time,  makes one cautious.

I'd drive it with engine it has.  You could rebuild it with case clearancing and a larger stroke crank. The 69 mm crank is OEM stock.  A 74 mm would give 2054 cc and 78 cc would give 2165.  

Really like interior color combo - and the ultra fat butt.

Although in FL, I'm regretfully a good 10 hours from Ft Worth ---- with Hurricane Matt headed that way it isn't going anywhere.  Call and ask them where they stand on a buy it now price.  You're in MD - you can get an inexpensive flight from BWI to FL and check it after weather clears. If it looks good drive up to Jacksonville area and put it on AMTRAK Autotrain to Lorton, VA - quick drive to MD then.

Need to change my profile. Just moved to Vermont. So, I could fly out of Manchester, Burlington, or Boston.

It's a really nice looking car. Many times cars are just price to high and they sit and get stigmatized...A 2110 is a great motor for these toys.

For the right price you can drive and update it later should you feel the need.

I really like this color and those wheels!

Have you seen this one?

I've been watching this.  A dealer is selling it.  So far it seems like the reserve has not been met.  Around $22,500 is the highest bid I've seen.  I'm betting the dealer wants over $26,000 for it.  If it's still there next month when I get to FLA....?  I may trade mine.

Generally, I'm not a wide body fan,  but I like this car.  Nice exterior color and I really like the interior color combo.

The engine isn't that big, but I noticed the ad said it was a Scat engine, so it may be a decent motor.

I talked to the seller when it was first up on eBay. I think his buyit now would be $28k.

But i wouldn't be surprised if 26k wouldn't get it done.

I can't move on a deal right away because of health issues. May have to sell my 996 first also. Lovely car. Surprised that someone on this forum has not been to visit the car close up yet.

The front overriders are not symmetrical.   That would be a deal breaker for me.

From a purely aesthetic point of view I love it.

Silver and the burgundy/black interior are personal choices but I love the super wide body style and flares, the rims and tires are beautiful. Banjo steering wheel, shift knob, polished pedals, nerf bars, all very nice imo. And the top looks to be one of the better fitting ones I've seen, don't know why they often look so "crushed" on these cars.

Cons: With the normal sorting we know these cars take, I wouldn't pay 25K for it and doubtful a stealer will take less. 

And I agree the black on ebay looks stunning if black is your thing. 

I would cut the front nerf "bar" portion and keep the vertical bracket and mount a set of driving lights.

Then you are to picky and may never be satisfied! It is a nice car for the right money...

Yeah, I'm a real budhead about cosmetics

Is that the vinyl that Dr. Clock always raves about?

I like " Alante " brand vinyl..it is soft , durable and feels and looks like leather

I didn't look that close, you are correct.  Interesting that this is noted as being made by Vintage Speedsters in the ad.  If you look at the black one also mentioned above that is on ebay from Portland, OR, it is noted as being from Vintage Speedsters as well.  Look at the nerfs on it.  They are offset exactly the same.  Wad up wit dat?  Move the brackets to the RIGHT side of the mounting frame plates and it should center them about the same?!?!.  Come on man....

I agree, easy fix though if you love the car.

The black super wide body ended auction at $22.5 with reserve not met.
