Anyone looking for a 956 or is it a 359?

I am sure this has been posted before, but is anyone looking for a 956 or is a 359?

Ok fine, it's neither, but it looks like a cross between a 356 Speedster and a 959, er abomination.



more pictures here

I was just looking at Porsche links on Craigslist when I came across that monstrosity.

However you might feel about it, it appears to be nicely done.

There's some good there and a whole lot of bad. If he had not done the 959 rear at all it might be sort of stylistic. I think there is some talent be exhibited there, it just didn't come together 100%.

Well, to be honest, it didn't come together 80%, but better than I can do. And you know I've tried.

Is that the "We'll pay you this much to tow it away" price?

A car has to be honest to it self or it looses all respect...in only the rarest of case (the dune buggy) no car should be adulterated with that much fiberglass after market. Its just wrong - an adoration of nature and should never have been.

Should of gotten more creative with the rear, shouldn't of gotten creative with the paint job.
