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

Darn. Missed it. The remote sliding doors had my interest.

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.

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.

don't often see an Aero I kit available, best looking side skirts IMO

I just thought I'd start the thread and see where it goes. I'm intending for it to stay Porsche related, but I'm nobody's boss. :dance:
It also may do best to clip a screenshot rather than post a link, due to the transient nature of the posts.

Here's what amused me tonight, a "Porshe Boxer" headlight and a Porsche 917 ('73 VW):



That car was called a “Laser 917”. I knew someone who had one. Wasn’t a terrible car, better than a lot of kits.

Not mine, no affiliation, but if I didn't already have one I would be interested and would take a drive down there. Silver and asking $1,200, best offer.

$3200 for a whole car... Not bad for an S engine you can drive up on a trailer.. Too bad he won't get a title.

99 with a wrecked interior and random missing parts but the classic claim of running when parked near Texas/Mexico border in MCAllen. Picked it up for 900. Let the tear down begin, I need shell for SPB.

This popped up recently in the Denver area. No affiliation.
https://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/d/lafayette-2002-porsche-boxster-986-seal/7123082459.html

I'm a sucker for Seal Gray over black, and the mileage is quite low. I only scanned the substance of the post and the price seems a bit ambitious, but maybe for the right buyer...

Friend wants me to find him a 911 coupe. While searching I came across this one.

Carmon Red Metallic + Terracotta Int

Not sure what the original owner was thinking when he ordered it. The pics don't show the true ext color. The car is a dusty mess.

https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=6 8164&transmission=M&maxMileage=60000&showNegotiable=true&sourceContext=untrackedExternal_false_0&bodyTypeGroupIds=0&distance=50000&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity2=c7735&sortType=PROXIMITY&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=c5777#listing =272836637

This is the same ext color as my 1st Cayman S. Can't imagine it with terracotta int. You certainly would be 1 of 1 at any C&C.

Submitted an offer on an '07 Cayman S in Carmon Red Metallic four years ago. Offer was accepted. Deal was contingent on a clean PPI.

PPI came back with metal shavings in the oil, so the deal was off. Dodged a bullet there, but I still drooled over that Cayman draped in Carmon Red, over Sand Beige interior.

Can't imagine what it would look with a Terracotta interior. Awesome? Dunno; maybe not enough of a contrast.

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