Missing thread about Willhoit's latest offering
 

Seems thread starter shaynes or admins removed thread about Willhoit's latest offering:

http://www.willhoitenterprises.com/car244.htm

shaynes, my comment was about year 1995 listed in the ad. Car has '94 MY R VIN. Still, comment had smilie next to it.

Still would like to know what Exclusive it has. Few pics in ad do not seem to show anything special. I may have missed something.

:rtfm: More free advertising for Willhoit

I don't know I didn't take it off, maybe because it said willhoit, whatever, just letting people know it is there, looks like a nice ass car, but it should be right.... whatever..

WTF is this supposed to mean, "The Quickest Automatic we have ever Owned!!!!!"

Wow do I hate used car sales hype.

The 1995 thing does kind of make me wonder, big difference in price right now, but functionally nothing is really different between any of the GTS model years is it?

Its always the same result when threads like this are posted so Randy just took it down I am sure. They don't do any good and just result in a pissing contest.

Ok, it was Randy then. This is gone soon too.

danglerb, there are differences in different model year GTS. Read wikipedia.org for short summary.

Personally, I'm always happy to gaze at the wonderful finds that Willhoit makes. He works hard and deserves his success.

Here is the wiki entry, some rare options maybe, but nothing seems significant to me.

Cool, anyone has one of this? Pics please....

[QUOTE=Giovanni]No firm evidence of them that I know of, just paper.

[QUOTE=Giovanni]This car is supposed to have them although its hard to tell from the pictures:

It says flared fenders, not steel fenders. Why would you want steel fenders?

Fabio my brother

Nice to see freedom of expression has returned to your avatar :cheers:

Hmm they don't look flared very much to me...or at least not $2500 worth!

Just like a lot of things 928, the answer is how much do you want to spend.

First guess is that you would find a shop that could repair the damaged fender regardless of how extreme the damage is, but at some point you might be looking at some serious costs to fabricate a replacement.
