I recognize the scams for bicycles and things like real exotic or newer cars better, but this one almost seemed reasonable!

I'm sure the cold start issue has nothing to do with the "dinged up a bit" front. Maybe the battery is getting weak.

LOL - based on tree limb across cowel, me suspects that was scene of "ding-ing up a bit".

To be honest, it is cold today - single digits & 25mph wind producing -25 deg wind chill.

2000 Porche Boxter!
I was just about to post this yesterday. Before I clicked 'post', I decided to check it out.
Long story short: It probably wasn't worth the $4,500, so I got it for a bit less.
- 90% certain the oil leak is AOS
- Steering rack leak
- Cheap knock off wheels
- Burnt headlights
- Body & paint 3/10 (Hood impact to windshield damage and bad paint job)
- Interior 5/10
- Starter squeal
Its going to be a spring project. Maybe do a Woody style build®, or maybe just clean it up.

Always love hearing about cheap finds because of a bad AOS. I got one at an auction that was a dealer trying to pass off what they thought was a car with a bad engine. I don't feel too sorry for people who think their boxster is shot because of a bad AOS. Five minute google search will tell you what's wrong.

Congrats! That's a great little snag for less than $4500! Hopefully it will be easy to put back in shape.

Not quite a Boxster, but still looks like it might be a fun ride.
1959 Porsche 718 RSK replica
Looks like it was done right.

"All numbers match VIN from cowl to radiator support."
Next sentence:
"This is a rolling chassis vehicle. No motor."
No interior, wrong hood.
"True, straight survivor."
At least he has all the buzz words included. Too bad he doesn't know what they mean.

Better read this one quick before it gets taken down. Be sure to look at all of the pics.

Looking at the pics - especially the rear quarter one taken @ the Hilton Hotel - I'll think I'll pass.
I bet the car can tell a few tales....

Why would anyone do this to a car? Why put fake emblems on a different model/brand unless its a kit which has reason.

It is a tie with that bodykit monstrosity from the previous post.
If that MR2 really has a TRD body kit, suspension, etc... it is already pretty special. Why ruin it with Porsche badges...
