It's almost as if you're challenging someone to post something that tops it.

pretty sure that's a crime.

But at least it's not made of paper mache.

It took (2) 1973 Porsche 911 Targa's to create this car.
A double tragedy, two cars wasted.

959 look Targa limo........................the thing nobody wanted, and yet it exists.

Hey, it's a 959! Can't overlook that. And perfect for a V8 conversion.

(I wonder what they did for frame rails.)

I can just picture 2 dudes wearing red michael jackson jackets, and parachute pants , listening to cheesy 80's music, doing big fat rails off the work bench, in some dirty garage in jersey, while all the fabrication was happening .
There were some real crimes against humanity, and all that is sacred committed in the 80's

And yet a very similar project CAN be done in style and taste....



More at https://flatsixes.com/tag/porsche-356-limo/ and there have been a few pelican threads in various forums, as well as 356talk, rennlist, etc. and so on.

What is sad about that pic is that if the car was in a roll over accident, etc. at least SOME parts would be usable - engine, trans, etc.

But if that is from a hurricane smackin' into things and spraying ocean water everywhere, etc. there won't be anything salvageable by the time the car can be gotten to a place it can get parted out

They say there is an ass for every seat. No way I want to contemplate what the ass in question for the car in the original post is like.

I want the wheels. Refinished they could be kuhl. Also the wing windows. The rest can go to the crusher.
