I haven't received much interest in the car. Is it the rear fender damage? Do I have to fix the fender before anyone will buy the car?

For the price you are asking -- I would expect the car to be damage free. I think the lack of interest is suggesting the same.

Not sure what the market is out there Greg, but my car had everything you list plus GT3 control arms all around, Full AIM MXL2 data system with throttle/brake sensors, AIM SmartyCam HD, Coolsuit, all Tarret drop links and bars, two sets of wheels, factory Hardtop (no net needed), no dents, and more.. and it sold for a little less than what you are asking (on the East coast).

It also doesnt have race history/results associated with it. This often times can add value to the car if its a known winner. Your car is currently an 'unknown quantity' and as such gets valued strictly on the sum of its parts, not what its potential is.

Still for sale. I now have these documents to help you decide:
1. build spec sheet signed by builder Dan Aspeci at The Speed Gallery.
2. receipts for additional work done.
3. car fax.
4. a pre-purchase inspection from BR Racing in Los Gatos (sponsor of the local PCA racers, has worked on many spec boxsters).
5. two estimates for the body work. One to replace the fender, and one to pull it out and bondo it.
6. California certificate of title with VIN.
7. odometer reading: 97,284.
8. the dyno sheet from MCE Racing (does all the dynos for NASA).
See all these documents and photos of the car here.

Pre-purchase inspection
Here's a summary of the pre-purchase inspection from BR Racing, in case you find it hard to read in the photograph.
- One wheel bearing should probably be replaced.
- Car has stock brake rotors not the slotted or drilled ones.
- Front brake pads should be replaced.
- Rear brake pads are fine (60% left).
- Car does not have the extra radiator in the center. (Not really necessary unless you live in Texas, in my opinion).
- The end-links on the rear sway bar are stock (not adjustable). You probably want to get the adjustable ones from Tarrett.
- Rear sway bar is not connected (I did so for a wet day I ran).
- Missing one of the plastic underbody panels. (I think these are about $100).
- The rear lower control arms are stock. You'll probably want to replace these, you get about 1/2 a degree more camber. I don't know the cost.
- There's a way to connect the rear lower control arms to lengthen the wheelbase 1/4" or so. It's a minor improvement, but you might as well do it since it doesn't require any new parts.
- Driver's seat was manufactured 12/2012. It will need to be replaced or have a back support created for it.
- Seat belts expire in 2020.
- Fire bottle was not in the car (I left it at home).
- The fire system on switch is next to the driver's leg and could get flipped off accidentally. Should relocate it.
- Battery is stock (heavy, 38 lbs).
- Wiring in the car is stock. You can get lighter-weight ones with fewer wires.
- There's a spare tire in the front trunk.
- The cable for the battery cut-off switch--they don't like the way it's routed. They think it would be too hard to pull. Personally, I had no problem pulling it.
- Body damage.
- Car has a passenger seat installed.
- Stock shifter on risers.
- Parking brake is still installed.
- Has stock hood releases front and rear. You might like to have hood pins installed.
- Has wheel studs.
- Has a quick release on the steering wheel.
- Windshield wipers are still installed.
- Roof not on car (I left it at home).
- No roof net (I use arm restraints).
- Has catalytic converters still installed. Straight pipes would get you about 5 more HP.
- Needs a rear tow hook.

Car is sold.
Staying in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Going to an SCCA racer, who will race it in class T3. This class uses the Hoosier R7 tire, so the Spec Boxster is a few seconds/lap faster than with the Toyo RR tires. Also, SCCA minimum weight is 2600 lbs with driver, 50 less than with the PCA. So it should be competitive in T3 against the BMW SpecE46 and the V6 Mustang.
