Show us your barn finds, give us your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore....or just your wrecked car needing attention...

If either of those are your car...i apologize- but they made me sad...so here they are...

Maybe not the ugliest, but I look at the tail and think wtf were previous owners thinking. Today, hopefully, I will have an original functioning spoiler on the car. It’s taken 5 years to get to that point.

That tail isn't that bad, IMO - unless you're an OE purist. You FAIL at posting an ugly car!

Ohhhh. Now I am sad. I hope you guys are happy.

I don't want to see any more crashed or burned 964s.

When I first got mine. Holy hell was it in rough shape. Blown motor and trans. 4 shades of black with the paint burnt through on the roof and the right rear quarter. Tan interior and wheels that were rattle canned by a lot jockey who didn't even bother to dismount the out of date mismatched tires.

Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Look, there are many great cars out here in impeccable condition, but at one point these cars were not desirable and valuable, so they ended up with people on a budget.

So some of these ended up at shops with no experience, since there are only a few shops around here with experience (and they may be hours away). So a local shop starts on the car and then runs out of experience. Owner gets left on his own, with a car that doesn't run and needs to get picked up. It sits and sits and sits. Then there is a point where it is cheaper to get a "new" used one rather than fix this. So this will be left as a parts car... but nobody knows about them when they need parts, so they slowly, sadly fade away.

It is simply because this is a different market, with certain limitations and lack of experience at shops.

Still hurts to see, but it was asked for...

This beautiful RS America ended up pretty ugly after a roll over coming out of turn 17 at Sebring last year. Driver was taken to the hospital, but was OK.
