Hi,

Seems a bit over the top to me, especially for $129k. I did run the VIN listed and it is a 1990 964 Coupe w/ 3.6L NA engine (C2 or C4) made for the US/Canada market. Further, CarFax had 14 records for this car, which in and of itself means nothing, I wasn't going to pay for the full report though.

My concerns (especially with the lack of info provided) would be can you even import this car to the US? Is it still EPA, DOT and OBDII compliant? You'd want to know that before peeling off the Dead Presidents for sure.

I do like the Center seating arrangement for the driver however. The styling certainly didn't emmanate from Turin, but it does kinda grow on you, not totally awful for an independent. If it was fabricated correctly, I bet it could be a fun little roadster - except of course, the engine's in the wrong place

...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
