Eeeew, not wow. I like the one with the Supra headlights better, and I don't like it.

I saw that and decided not to post it, as I'd have to comment. I'm just glad that it's unique. But it's nacaed

NACA ducts not in proportion - bit too big.

Fender vents: mmmm ... probly don't flow enough air to achieve their real purpose of reducing lift over the fenders.

I've been thinking of putting naca ducts in a second hood for better engine bay cooling. Not decided on location yet.

I'm not dig'n the gills behind the headlights; although it does have me wondering how they would look behind the front tires—like the 250 GTO.

To quote Richard Hammond (not verbatim)........ The best part of this car is the same as the Panamera. Driving it will spare you from having to actually look at it.

The rear end photo is even WORSE..... then the add says "..Needs some TLC: Front bumper & hood scoops has some cracks - rear valance needs repair ...." And people wonder why I am so hard on cars with fiberglass glued on !!!
I wonder what he thinks this thing is worth ?? And would be really sad if it happened to be a real early 1978

Although this car is hardly more than a mile away from me, please don't ask me to go look at it.

Oh, you're just jealous. (echoing the Stroesk from last week)

He seems to think its worth about $7k. I'm kind of curious if it has any maintenance history. And there's only one pic of the interior. Back seats. No driver's seat or dash pic.

an older Porsche with a face lift with the aerodynamic body styling pieces add a very unique look, tremendous value, functionality and "WOW" factor to it. .
Adds tremendous value and functionality to it.

Maybe I'm cynical, but the only places I see "value" added are on a scale with the extra weight and in a wind tunnel with the extra drag.

Wow Factor. Yeah, it "wows" me that someone thought this was a good idea.

And I searched Palace of Fine Arts and Acalanes Car show and found basically nothing.

This car has been for sale before- around a year ago. I remember the odd pic (cherry trees).

There's quite a time range of photos too, so who knows when the rear seat picture was taken. Not showing the front seats or dash is odd - if the interior were in very good condition, then it would be possible for it to be worth the asking price, with good maintenance. It looks to have D90 wheels now too.
