Wow and wow. I'd almost like to meet the person that "customized" this interior...and thought it looked good. Were they shooting for retro-pimp?

Ok, this is on eBay rather than CL. A poorly written header description. In the header they seem to say it is #0001 but in the included interior pics, it says it is #0226. 32,458 miles. I guess the eBay market value is screwed up because it picked up the ‘550 Spyder’ in the title.

I'm sure all they saying this is one of the limited production of 1953, not serial #1.

I agree there was no deception intended. They show a lot of info in the ad details.

A bit optimistic on price, but very nice.

I think EBay picked up 550 Spyder in the ad heading to determine market value. That’s about right for a typical 550 Spyder replica. Otherwise, Michael J Fox called and he wants the DeLorean back

The cheapest Porsche you buy will be the most expensive to own:

Get a tetanus shot first, though.

Just sayin'..............

Looks like something the "Wheeler Dealer" guys on TV would try to reverse. That's amazing!
