and the last photo of the car from the side with it's roof on... OMG that is ugly. This thing makes my 914 look down right beautiful... rust and all.

That looks like a car that was part of a series of kit car builds. Lot and lots of fiberglass & bondo. The TV show on Speed TV had a series of different cars that were converted to look a lot different. I suspect they are all 20/20 cars. They look OK at 20 MPH and from 20 feet back.

The owner of this boxster requested by PM that I remove the text which i copied and pasted from the actual ebay ad.

Ebay Auction #150386740137
Vin# WP0CA298XWU622797

So per his wishes I have edited my post.

Looks like it has floormats from a 1980 924.

Open up the back, I bet there IS a 914 under all that :-)

I'm not a fan of any "kit car." If I can't afford the real thing, I don't want to be a poser and pretend I can..

The front end isn't bad. The back end is atrocious.

Considering it has high mileage, a suspicious past, and non-standard body parts, I think it's a $2,000 race-car candidate, not something with a reserve north of $10,000.

I really like the door hinges on the back...

It's Craptacular. Broomstick to hold the "engine" lid up included? Some high school girl might buy it.

There's a few running around here. I can't resist pointing/laughing when I see one. Some other bo-bo bought one last year at an auction for $42k. The new owner was beaming like a school-boy who just got laid.

Wonder if they show up at Porsche events all proud of their super car?
