Why does it remind me of a new Dodge Challenger?

If there really is a working 931 motor in it it's worth $2500.

I'll see if I can get there Friday and take some pics/video of it running, busy with work and life to get there any sooner.

The more I look at this mess of a car, the more I want to pull out the sawzall with a 12" metal blade and chop it up, after I take all of the goodies off of it.

There are a few parts on it that can be saved, door panels look interesting and fuchs are always nice.

Yeah, the car is horrible, and this guy is dreaming, spent $2700 to get it just up and running. OMG, some parts are salvageable, but 15-50% cylinder leakdown, look at the paperwork..not even worth 1/2 of what he's asking.

I feel sorry for the poor slob that is going to buy this car, they're going to have a rude awakening.

It needs a honorable death being a porsche and all, but this aberration needs to be struck from people's memory.

i think he went for the 9ff hight speed(400km/h) concept which has been done properly and still looks weird.

Yeah I agree that some parts are worth saving but car overall is not. Having been chopped, I feel that the car is ruined based on that alone.
