Default $260,000 fixer-upper!
2005 Carrera GT

Looks like a track day gone wrong! That is some serious cake for a salvage title, what are these worth new?

I like how they used a Forklift to lift the car and allow for pictures underneath....

You guys are SOOO picky! What do you expect for a close to $300K
car? Then again, you could buy a new Cayman, 930, 911 Cab.,
Boxster, and , and , and still have money left over for Vegas!
On second thought, go ahead!!!!

That is just wrong picking the car up like that. Yes the car is damaged but show some respect and how about not causing any more damage.

I've heard if you jack up a CGT by any other method than a lift that you are in serious jeopardy of racking the chassis.

No way to treat a fine automobile even a damaged one.

I don't know where the proper lift points are but I doubt the Owner's Manual shows an emergency fork lift procedure.
