I'm just curious when is the car market hottest and when is it very slow? I'd figure from after tax season to beginning of school in fall it should be pretty hot. Is my thinking correct?

I am pretty sure it was the same car listed in Wyoming and when I called and said I would come look the car the seller had some BS story about it not being there.
Thanks for posting, I was making plans to go get it.

Hmmm indeed. A '71 would be a long hood car. 1.7L engine? Boot lid...locked out...dead battery? Nah.

Strange, questionable listing.

It seems to be a '74 or later car. The '71 trunk area of the chassis/tub looked like this (hence the "long hood" for shorthand).



Struggling to understand how that could be modified to result in the advertised car; never seen it done. A nicely done project of that vintage will still ordinarily come out with a snout something like this:



Not trying to throw cold water on your interest - just trying to be helpful.

Deal of the century?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-...m=281683304701

with only 18 hours left in this auction, this 44k mile '00 cab is at $12,600 with no reserve.

I have no affiliation, but I'm interested in seeing what this one ends up at.

Are you guys aware this is a rebuilt title? Still cheap for a low mile driver, but hard to classify anything with a rebuilt title as deal of the century material

I'd certainly gamble on a rebuilt title with what appears to be a moderate front end collision. Especially at the current price of $12,700. Too bad it's a convertible.
