Definitely NOT a kit car, looks a lot like a real car.

Here's a sad story available today on Chicago CL:

"Comes with a 2 L Boxster 200 HP motor with a 4-speed transmission.

Pictures do not do this car Justice. It has won best of show or Best in Class at every car show I have brought it to. Absolutely no tire kickers welcome!

You want to beat on this car stay home don't need you cutting down the car either to try to get a better price, the paint was 10 grand by itself."

I can't tell if he means it comes with a "2 L Boxster 200 HP motor" in *addition* to the motor pictured. Does this look like a Boxster motor to anyone?

Yep thats a rare 4 cylinder Boxster engine. You can tell by the 4 leads on the distributor and the twin down draft carburetors. Hopefully they are Webers and not Solex cause that would be a dead giveaway that it is not a high performance normally aspirated 4 cylinder Boxster engine and just a cheap knock off. With the length of that hood you could fit 2 of those engines in there.

PS, I wonder if the woman with the 2 basketballs in her top comes with the car? Built in passenger airbag(s).

The front REALLY protrudes out.

I think he meant 2L boxer engine, he just wasn't smart enough to state it as that.

If the motor is in the back, why does the front stick out so far? That hood looks like it is over 7'.
