Currently, asking price for this kind of excellent 1978 cars in Europe is over 15000 Euro's. So Bronto I would buy now pronto!

Considering the BIN price, the pictures should be high definition and not some crappy pell phone blurs.

"THIS PORCSHE"[sic] is missing the B+ post cover, the vac advance line is misrouted, it's missing the shroud over the cowl/wiper area, and the intake hoses have been replaced with some funky Home Depot dryer vent. Also it looks like one of the air vents is broken on the driver's door. Those tires are probably older than some of our young members... Knock a couple grand off for these glaring defects and it looks like a heckuva deal...



Very, very nice car. Looks like a perfect leather dash/console. Not the best time to sell though...

Those are correct hoses for '78-80 MY cars. Very few have them nowdays since they haven't been available after '81 MY when '81-91 style venturi hose was introduced.

The left quarter window trim is brushed aluminum and the right trim is black with a brushed aluminum corner piece. Odds are it has been hit in the right quarter panel and most of the trim replaced.

The car is clearly a repaint. Too plastic looking and you can see excessive texture in the finish on the top on the left fender and the right quarter panel has a dent next to the bumper. Oh, and pasha for me too.

I thought the original were molded plastic? These appear to be coated cardboard/fiber, and do not seem to fit properly on the shroud. If you look at the edges you can see the cardboard color...

Ones I have seen which were very likely original were coated cardboard.

Earliest '78 MY cars didn't even have belt cooling holes in pipes and hose was mounted with steel tensioners at both both ends.

No - mine are original and they are the covered cardboard - exactly like the ones in the pictures - the solid section 1/3 up the hoses is where they attach to the timing belt covers. Also, as they age (as mine have) the ends kind of split so I've cut off the first couple of coils (maybe 1 cm) to get to an intact section so they look like that now from the front edge.
