the car isn't that bad other than the engine, though not what i would do.

Its the prototype for the new Barbie Porsche. Matel will be psssed when they find it missing from their R&D facility.

Why, why do that to a 1971!

It looks like a New Orleans Whorehouse on wheels.

There's only one way to redeam that car...

1) Strip out the Barbie interior.

2) And convert it to a race car. That color is perfect for a race car!

Has anyone ever seen a properly liveried Marlboro sponsored race car? The classic "Marlboro red" is in fact the loudest -- brightest shade of pink that I've ever seen.:eek:

Did anyone see the hole in the left rear fender from what appears to be flung up road debris?

dd74 03-27-2004 12:36 PM

It's a deal...seriously.

Spud 03-29-2004 10:04 PM

Hey isn't that an "S" serial number for the chassis?

"9111300082"

Could be a steal if its just fugly, and not a rust bucket as well...

Looks like it might be rust-through from a bad job of welding on the Turbo flares?

That car sounds like a serious abortion. Take it apart and start all over again.

Maybe caning isn't such a bad idea.

The road debris put a hole in the Fiberglass fender...mine had some bad cracks but no holes when we got it.

Would someone please put this car out of it's misery???

Was this Janis Joplin's car at one time?

Holy Crap is that thing Ugly!!!!!!

It states that it's a bank repo, don't think I would take a chance on this one unless I could look it over real close & even then your still looking at big money to restore it. I wonder what the reserve is.
