My guess is the paint is barely dry. In 2 yrs, there will be grand canyon style cracks where he slathered on heaps of bondo to attach the fender flares.

I hope he has the time & emotional strength to get thru the sale.

Clearly a lot of work went into getting it where it is. Makes me kinda sad.
Short of the NOS crap and all the other stuff, this type of "mod" was fairly popular in the 80's and it is quite possible it was done "right". Having said that, the rest of the thing is just a real shame. I don't have the emotional strength to go on...

Reminds me of the Johnny Cash song, "One Piece At A Time"

Do a YouTube search if you're not familiar.

I wouldn't expect to find an actual 911 Turbo Cab parked in a neighborhood that looks like that.

I think it wouldn't look bad if you pulled some of that crap off and out normal wheels on it.

Hard to imagine somebody paying anything close to that asking price.

I wasn't suggesting anyone would. And it's probably a nightmare to keep running. But it is pretty interesting.

SUV is the translation of truck to "suburbanese". As in not a car...

You didn't hear about the PSC (Porsche Select-o-Color) Option? It's about as popular as PSM

Actually, I thought the ad says 2 for 6000.

One of my old girl friends called her 4 runner atruck. She was not happy about being corrected on that. I guess to some if it's not a car it's a truck. I have a Polaris rzr and some folks call those a bike I always thought a bike had 2 wheels.
