Seller needs to have the airbag light fixed on a car that clean with such low mileage.

This came up in my Craigslist surfing by searching Porsche. I'd never heard of the Factory Five GTM. Seller should be using Bring A Trailer to sell this-

GTM Supercar

I've seen a few of them in the for sale section in the back of Grassroots Motorsports. Calling it a kit car isn't really fair, but...

In defense, I've seen some amazing "kit cars", Think of Charlie Beck and his Porsche Speedster, 550 and 904 replicas. I went to his shop in the late 80's and he lit my hair on fire from the passenger seat in one of his cars.

But the market for a Factory Five GTM is probably petty limited. More power to him if he can get what he's wanting from it. :cheers:

I agree, the Beck Spyder, some of the Cobra and GT 40 replicas and other "kits" are pretty awesome, especially when a lot of care and thought goes into the selections made by the person building it. That's why I don't understand trying to sell on Craigslist, vs Bring A Trailer.

Rick, I don't think you have one of these yet. I'm pretty sure it's Orient Red. Sounds like it needs a little TLC, but that color is hard to find. Stop by on your way and I can give you a deal on an almost new top (plastic window).

I'll bet you a dollar that color is Zanzibar Red, aka Tomato Soup Red, and its an absolutely stunning color. But either Orient Red or Zanzibar Red, they're one of the few colors I don't have that I'd really like. Dammit Jon! Now you have my gears turning... It'd just take a few minutes to call him, ask about the car and get a color code... and it's project car price, and I can get to Nixa in about 5 hours, and it's just south of Springfeild, and I have a little honey of a nurse I know in Springfield, and... and... and...

Stand by... :D

Zanzibar! Yes, I'm bad at guessing those rare colors. All my cars are Silver/Grey, Black and White. The neighbors might notice how many cars I have in the driveway and complain if I had the bright colors.

And yours doesn't include "some assembly required":). This one has been on PCA and Craigslist and has a lot of track goodies installed and hasn't moved. Someone will get a great deal on yours!

Proof that Porsche will build anything you want. Took 2 attractive colors for exterior and interior and made a horrible combination of the 2.

I bet ya didn't know that a 2008 911 has "remote sliding back doors" and "ample cup holders" and "can seat 8 with a middle-row seat"! HAHA!

Obviously it's a scam but check out how funny the ad is before it gets flagged!

Bummer. I had a feeling it wouldn't be kept up for long. I should have taken a screenshot.

In a nutshell, it was a picture of a 2008 911 but the description was obviously of a minivan.

It had a phone number with an area code I've never seen. It was probably an attempt to fish for email or phone numbers.

LOL! I would have totally bit and, using my anonymous email address, had him chomping at that bit. ;)

Oh man! I’ve been looking for a Porsche Minivan with remote sliding door and ample cup holders :eek::D

husker boxster 11-12-2019 02:48 PM

The scam I've seen lately on multiple CLs is for a 2013 black 911 C4S for $33K. They have non-resident area code phone #s and it's diff # for ea city it appears. They'll have 1-3 pics and a desc that sort of fits but sort of doesn't. Have prob seen it on 5-6 diff CL sites.

If it's too good to be true, it prob is.

That Pastel Yellow one actually looks great.

Here's one on Craigslist that is full of 'red flags'.

The police officer said that it ran two years ago before it was parked. Is that reassuring?
Maybe at around $2k I'd take a chance.

jreissenweber1 11-18-2019 08:01 PM

I remember seeing that same car for sale on Craigslist in San Francisco about 5 months ago ..
supposedly from a "collector" ..
I believe selling price was $13 K .. and remember it disappeared/sold in 3-4 days ..

So let me get this straight. The previous owner "guaranteed the car ran when parked" 2 years ago. The current owner bought new tires, brakes/rotors and a battery, but hasn't started it himself? Yet it supposedly runs because the previous owner guaranteed it ran. Yeah, I'll buy that!
