We've all seen this car before. At least now he can get rid of it. It's a Frankenstein of a Carrera GT. I like to call it Stubby GT. :p

steve00s 02-06-2008 10:46 AM

The worst part is the boxy rear windows. They do not flow with rest of the car. And to put Carrera GT on the back is just wrong.

It looks like a tremendous amount of work went into the car and from the pictures it looks like the quality of the work looks good. Too bad he didn't just tone it down a bit.

that 1st pic looks like golf cart on crack.
damn thats one ugly car

dcporsche99 02-06-2008 12:04 PM

That's too bad.... all that money wasted. He could've bought himself a decent ride!

Chills 02-06-2008 12:55 PM

I recognize the 2nd pic. He used it in his last attempt to sell that piece of junk.

I remember the pic because the cars across the street are nice, which is in stark contrast to the monstrosity that's being sold.

gmboxster 02-06-2008 01:12 PM

WOW !! :barf:

billybill 02-06-2008 01:43 PM

theres a sucker born every minute, or apparently 2 suckers

jwilson95 02-06-2008 02:55 PM

That car makes me DISTRAUGHT!!

Nice proportions....just wrong.

Let's take up a collection to buy this thing and drive it off a cliff!

Let's see, salvaged title, hideous kit, and current bid already higher than a perfectly NORMAL 01 Porsche Boxster S. How can you lose?

As for the 2 bidders being "suckers..." I'm gonna go with "friends of seller."
And the reserve isn't even met.

YKS 971 02-06-2008 04:43 PM

I love the name of the website that video is on USEDFIEROPARTS.COM! Priceless!

black_bi-turbo 02-07-2008 06:42 AM

From the windshield forward, the car doesn't look that terrible, but behind that :barf:

tboyer 02-07-2008 09:12 AM

It's up to $28,600 with an hour and a half left on the auction, reserve still not met, what a waste of $$$

In a day or two we'll have a new board member:

"Hi everyone, I just picked up the coolest 986 out there, it's got the most unique bodyword and does 420hp at the wheel!" hahahahahahaah

FTD 02-07-2008 03:24 PM

How bizaare, how bizarre!

Oh my! golf cart on crack indeed. well said.

billybill 02-07-2008 08:39 PM

hi all. Sorry a little off topic. But second pic down. Is that a maybach parked in front? Sorry for the thread jack.

Gent 02-07-2008 09:17 PM

"award-winning" he says. WTF?

clickman 02-09-2008 08:09 AM

IMHO, from straight on the front around to straight on the side (surprising me), it's not too bad.

But from there on around the back, I was looking for the right word for how bad the impression was that I got, and I could only come up with "squashed". It looks like a real car was shrunk and squashed and glued onto the back of a real Boxster.

We need an emoticon for "shudder".

But folks, we all know someone's going to buy it...

humara 02-10-2008 08:51 AM

2010 boxster prototype disguised as horrible POS kit car? :rolleyes:

8 Ball 02-10-2008 10:42 PM

Maybe that is a roll bar over the top

dcporsche99 02-11-2008 10:21 AM

On a side note....

hey 8ball, is that really on your car?? ...that's definitely original! :)

8 Ball 02-19-2008 06:28 PM

It's a magnetic sticker that I use for Autocross and DE days, I have two for the doors and one for the hood. Actually I started my Porsche career with an older red 911 and I was given the #8 at an autocross and two years ago I got the black Boxster and the number just happened to work.

mn box s 02-22-2008 07:26 PM

I would have to add that from the back wheels to the front ( minus the top) looks good. Go back to the drawing board on the roof and rear cover.... ok better yet just make it a gt 2 rear.

Well said!!

tboyer 02-24-2008 05:57 PM

pretty sophisticated process is involved in building these Boxster "GT/Carrera" kit cars. I found this site that partially shows build process, what ever floats their boat

mn box s 02-25-2008 01:59 PM

WOW!.... They could make more money if they just sold the side and front. I like OEM but WOW! ...wow is not a good thing here. You really hit the jack pot on this one. I guess the Box is not just the poor mans 911 anymore, haha. So whos going to make the batmobile ... or has it already been done? :(

I'll contribute, but how will we find someone that isn't afraid to be seen driving it to the cliff?

mn box s 02-27-2008 01:38 PM

...Simple go down to China Town with pics and get a recruitment. One last idea, see if they can fab wings on it to see if it will glide. Oh thats right it probably weighs a couple of tons with all of the bodyfiller.

rick3000 02-27-2008 06:44 PM

If the reserve wasn't met at $29k, how much do they want for that "thing." Personally, I wouldn't take that car if they payed me. :cheers:

6speed 02-27-2008 07:30 PM

That thing is hideous! it looks like a cheap carrera gt keychain!!! :barf:

Theres a white one now,same "KIT" for !!60,000.00!?!WTF!!!!!
