Default If you want a Yeller one

Guys

I stopped by this place to look at a car they had and this was still there. They have had it for a while but I have to say it is pretty. I have sat in it before and took some more time today to poke around.

Since I am looking again I kind of used it as a practice for sharpening my keen eye

I think he is a bit flexible on price. But who knows.

It really does look nice. It has had paint work at some point but dang if I could tell. No drips and the interior has carbon that looks great.

I have no affiliation other than just wanting to pass on a first hand account of the car.

I remember seeing that one when I was looking. Carfax showed accident history, that's why it has been repainted.

Jack from California had a car that looked just like that one, I wonder if it's the same.

This car is likely the one that belonged to Rennlister Alain Degraeve, who lived in Colorado. He hasn't frequented the board in more than four years. I recall the car was in an accident, he had it repaired, and then he sold it locally in Colorado. Here are some pics he posted at least four years ago...

That looks REAL close but the Seatbelts are different as well as the seats. Was his a pearl yellow? The pictures look like it might have been. But the CF pieces, wheel (3 spoke) etc. look right.

Apparently it went into the guardrail. Flank and A-pillar damage I guess. I did a search on it.

Since I had mine repainted I was curious to see what it looked like. I pulled back the rubber trim to see what it looked like and it looked good. Just like mine. We took EVERYTHING off my car.

This was my car. And there was absolutely no paint work on this car done except for the front "s" style bottom spoiler. I find it interesting how rumors get around. I owned this car since 1996 and traded it in on a 430 scuderia. From what I understand the car is in Sweden now. Car was perfect and never involved in a crash , not even a door ding

forgot to mention that i sold in October of '09. My previous statement refers only to the condition until I owned the car. Would love to hear if anyone knows the whereabouts of the car.

I can't speak for every section of Rennlist, but I think many more times than not, we get stuff right here on the 993 Turbo forum. No ones perfect.
