Default Interesting salvage GT2 on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...3cc#vi-content

This thing is a mess...

Has iron rotors, Turbo calipers (4 piston fronts- painted yellow), turbo wheels.

Autocheck says it's a GT2- but has a lot of turbo parts on it. Very odd.

Definitely not worth the $45k asking price.

WC suggests GMG... Maybe they know something about the history.

It also has standard turbo brakes with the calipers painted yellow. It isn't a GT2 but a turbo by the look of it.

Looks like nothing more than parallel parking damage ...

What is the item in the last picture with the keys? Never seen anything like it for sale over here in the UK?

Looks like it has been cared for, but a few GT2 bits missing ( UK cars have it on the centre dial, US cars? ), so I'd agree with the re-badged Turbo comments. Looks like the Passenger air bag has gone off and the cover is just sitting in place too.

A tarted up Turbo, too many GT2 details missing, I think it's riding higher than a GT2 as well

Its not a GT2 but rather a turbo. The rear carpet has the seatbelt hook ups present and the C pillar has the seat belt slot visible.

Again, odd that autocheck thinks it's a GT2 via VIN number...

Autocheck also indicates that it is all wheel drive...

Best guess - tt with sunroof delete option and some GT2 bits.

Frankenporsche. Autocheck also indicates that it hasn't been in any accidents and we know that's not right.
