is this guy a serial killer?
 
There's been this ad on CL for a 914 for about 2 years now, exact same ad, reposted ever 2 weeks. I've called a few times and left messages, emailed, two friends have as well...never get a reply. 2 years I've seen this ad.

So I just called and got him, he was very nice in the intro hello (I'm glad I've reached you I said to which he replied how can I help you) and when I said I'm calling about the 914, his voice immediately changes to stressed-out and he says he's going out to a class, can I call tomorrow. He hangs up immediately. Crazy!:confused:

Any thoughts on why someone would run this ad for 2 years?

Classic Porsche 914 from 1973

I loved this car, and have owned it for some 26 years, but it has been sitting unregistered and unused except for a semiannual starting. Ive moved, and am selling the house where car is located (Holden, north of Worcester), and have no room at my new home. It is going to take a fair amount of work to get everything up to snuff and some attention to details, but it is in overall good condition.

Exceptional low mileage. Less than 75,000 original miles. 1.7L engine with Weber carburetor setup, fine 5-spd manual transmission. Ivory white exterior with black interior, and a removable black Targa roof.

Asking $1950 or best offer.


Paul 508-207-7687, or 978-283-6662. Call after 10am up till 10 pm. Best time to reach me is mid afternoon. My e-mail is: mepaulrc@hotmail.com

Have you called anybody official with your concerns?

Just a guess, he doesn't want to sell it, the CL ad is to shut his nagging wife/mother/landlord/whatever up.

He is definitely a serial killer.

There's a guy in my town selling the same immaculate 997 every two weeks for a killer price. Not sure what his scam is, but it's clearly a scam. I asked him where I could see the car, and he wanted all kinds of info from me to establish my bona fides etc/ before he would show it to me. I told him to take a hike. But he's been advertising this same car for over a year now.

Some people are just weird. Why waste brain cells trying to understand them.

If you do meet him and he kills and eats you can I have your 73T Coupe?

"Criminal Minds", Season 1, episode 1, "Extreme Aggressor."


Serial killer has a vintage 240Z for sale for a great price. Women interested in the car call him and he kidnaps them during the test drive.

Me too, do you want to buy a t shirt with a naked picture of you on it Shaun?

why don't you ask a young girl to call, see what happen.

Porsche-O-Phile 02-18-2010 01:54 AM

Very funny you should bring that up - I actually saw that ad on CL the other day and was going to call about it. Now I'm thinking better of it. Besides, I think another car project at this point would put me on the fast track to permanent sleeping quarters on the couch. :D

I had a 914 out in CA for a while. Fun, but I've got my hands full with other stuff right now. Maybe someday or if a good deal falls into my lap or something, but I'm not exactly in a hurry to run right out and get another one anyway. $2k for that one seemed pretty good though.

Did he sound old enough to have "owned it for some 26 years"?

It could be a prank where his 'buddies' put the ad up so he keeps getting calls.

ODDJOB UNO 02-18-2010 05:35 AM

he HAS KILLED.................and he WILL KILL AGAIN!
