The ad is on this page. There aren't any pics in his ad.
I have a pic of a yellow one that looks patrially disassembled. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Wow -- pretty! If you look at the seller's e-mail, there is a dealer by the name of "Victory VW Audi" located in Harrisburg -- could be the same car.

The second one is a replica with a seperate wastegate pipe like the Ferrari F-40. The real car has a muffler with twin pipes, the wastegate dumps back to the main exhaust a little way past the cat.

Yeah, you would need sunshades to look at both.
It is the same car from harrisburg, PA. A few problems with the car that i am aware of. Its missing its original engine, guess who has it . Current driveline is all 951. Not sure about transmission. They were asking in the high 20s last time and the car was not running it the time.
Finding its maching engine would be impossible (trust me on this one) which would devalue it.
Also, being that it is original turbo S, it has ROW VIN WP0ZZ which will require federalization ($$$) to be able to drive it on the street.
Still a pretty car.

If it is the yellow car in PA then it has quite a few issues. Raj mentioned some. The biggest being the missing engine, but also it was converted (or partially) converted to a race car. The interior is missing, and I mean gone. No dash, seats, carpet, wiring, etc. A roll cage and fuel cell/contraption and a mess of 'custom' wiring constitutes the interior. The front bumper cover is trash and the splitter is missing. And of course it could never be US street legal without jumping thru lots of hoops. Still an interesting car however. You are going to pay a premium for the VIN number but many, many of the original parts are missing.

Luis, point well taken-but Raj didn't pry the motor out of the car, it had been chopped up and tossed around through a few hands before it made it to NJ. And knowing Raj, if the shell had any semblance of economic possibility to reconstruct he'd have bought it by now! (I still can't figure out how he gets his wife to be so understanding . . .)
