I think it needs more than just a paint job...

1999 Porsche 911 special race car hail damaged

The "golf ball dimple effect" will give a higher top speed and better gas milage...

$13k for that? Yea right. Good luck with that.

That's a parts car and a lot of the parts are no good (body panels) so I'd figure maybe $4k-$5k to make any money off of parting it out.

Special race car?
Over $1000 wing ...... How many stickers does it have?

I don't think that hail did very much monetary damage.

Special race car w/ tiptronic - you don't find that combination often!

The engine is better than the new. You have to hear it.

Interesting that with that extent of damage the windshield didn't break or headlights. Perhaps those have been replaced but...........

I've never seen hail damage that bad. That poor (special race) car got it's a$$ kicked.

One headlamp is broken. As you do, I also suspect the windshield was already replaced as with that much damage, there is NOT WAY it stayed unscathed.

What I am curious about is the peeled paint on the front bumper. That has nothing to do with hail. I suspect that this car was wrecked at one time (bumper repainted), then hail damaged, sold as salvage, turned into a race car (ish) with the seats (or the seats were sold), driven as-is for a while and now someone is turning it again.

I knew you guys would have fun with this! The back and right side don't look as bad as the front or left, I wonder if the car was parked in a way that the hail could do more damage? Almost looks as if someone took a baseball bat to it, perhaps a former SO?

He probably got a big insurance check, changed the glass and pocketed the test of the $$
