Why build this car?? A real one is probably cheaper
Why would anyone spend this much time nad money to build this car on a 1980 frame when you could probably buy the real deal for less tiem and money than this took to build a replica.

Without a doubt, the single most anal, longest winded auction posting I have seen in 8 years on eBay.

I agree. I had to take a break halfway through and re-read War And Peace just for a breather.
As for why, I had the same question the other night when I was mistakenly watching some 'pimp my ricer' show on speedvision. (I was gluing up some plywood and my hands were too sticky to switch channels or throw anything at the TV) Anyway, the kid had a hopped-up Chrysler 300 with flat screens all over, a DVD player, 50 disc Alpine changer, a PS2, GPS, 38 Polk speakers, Onstar, four Waring blenders and a silkworm missile launcher just for good measure. $125,000 invested, he said. Yeah, but it's still a Chrysler.  Regards,

Jeez.....
He should have written a book. Probably he would get way more money back on that (a book)....compared with what eBay will likely bring for the car. I gave up reading 5 minutes in.

Well if it walks like a duck and talks like one, I guess this *REALLY* is a 993 Turbo, expect for the tub, engine, suspension and a few other smallish details
 Really is a nice job, though. Too bad it probably isn't worth much (if any) more than the sum of the parts.

That was quite a write up. I'm tried now.
Agree on Why?? I would cringe on the DMV loops you would have to do if you did buy it , at least in CA.

That's how you sell a car on eBay if you want max dollars from the great unwashed. You OVERSELL. And he did.

Man, you guys are harsh.
The car looks very well done to me. Is it a real 993 Turbo? Of course not. But is Jack's car a real RSR? No. But they can still be nice cars and fun projects. Did he spend too much money on it on his project? Umm, yeah. But if that's a crime, most of us would be doing hard time by now. Could he have bought a real 993 Turbo for the money he spent? Maybe. But if projects have to make financial sense, a lot of us are morons. Does he suffer from verbosity? Yeah, but I think he is just passionate about his project. Nothing wrong with that. |

I agree. Some of the folks who aren't speaking up are those with larger invoice folders. Maybe Pelican should create a new forum called "911 Owner Criticism". Every forum contributor must submit pics and invoices for their own car - call it the cost of participation. Sherwood |
