Not on Craigslist. Maybe a movie prop?

I have no idea what the story is behind this.

There was an episode on Jay Leno's Garage about a group in CA that builds Mad Max vehicles. This has to be one of those. Looks like they put a lot of effort into it. Hope they changed the IMS.

Not mine, but a decent deal for a BK rollbar extension with padding:

This looks like a decent deal, but get to the point. My apologies if this ad belongs to someone on here.

99 Boxster with hardtop, 16,000 mile one owner time capsule. I hope he gets every penny he's asking for it.

$1,850 seems a bit high for a repainted hardtop with a couple of scratches and you can see the original color somewhere.

Yeah pretty high, I think they are running in the $1k to $1.2k range.

The 02 - TWENTYFOUR (24) paragraphs, most about random crap and only 1 little paragraph about the condition of the car. Wow! And I hate ads that start "I'm just testing the water..." Are you serious or not about selling? Those ads scream "I'll sell it for a stupid high price if you're dumb enough to buy it". This looks like a nice car but a horrible ad.

The 99 - asking a premium price (and it may be worth it) but only 3 pics? And 2 of those pics are of the car jammed between 2 houses. Take it out to one of the finger lakes and do a full photo shoot. CL gives you 24 pics per ad.

While I'm ranting, I never understand why people think their car looks great in a hand car wash bay after just washing it. Or at night at a gas station. Great places to take a pic of your car. SMH.

Haha quite wordy, sounds like wife wanting him to sell the car!

The 99 I think a bit high the S versions are in that range I beleive. Sometimes are old barely driven car can have other issues just from age and sitting. Still nice looking car.

On the red S he wants no dealers and thinks a PCA member should buy it. I can understand not wanting help selling it or scammers, but anyone who will pay the price should be able to buy it.

On the 99 base, yes to possible issues with ultra low miles - less than 1,000 miles/year - how many times has the brake fluid been flushed and the oil changed, and what seals have dried out while sitting. I also read somewhere that sometime in the late 1990's all of the German car manufacturers started using biodegradable insulation in their wiring harnesses, which may be why mice like to chew on them in cars that sit.

Here's your chance to own a Signal Green Cayman S Sport.

Will this buff out?

Seriously, all I can think of doing with this GT4 is putting the engine and other bits into a clean 981 S. And that seems like it would be a lot of work to get it to work!

I guess the accident turned the Flat 6 into a V6.

Glad I wasn't in the car when whatever happened to it happened!

That must have been terrifying. There is not much left of that poor thing.
