Cannot get enough, more eBay fun

Now in this case the car looks pretty cool and Paterak does good work, but the description is so boggling, precious. Let's take a look:

Why bother to find out the color:
"THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAINTED TO THE EXACT COLOR I FORGET THE NAME BUT IT IS A RARE COLOR."

How many ways can we spell this:
"MANY PARTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED LIKE NEW FULES LINES, NEW FEUL PUMP BELT"

Whenever possible? OK:
"ALL ORIGINAL PORSCH PARTS WERE USED WHENEVER POSSIBLE"

From this I gather that he paid $800 for visors, is this bragging rights?:
"I WAS OVERED $800 JUST FOR THE TWO VISORS THAT IS HOW NICE IT IS !!"

I know I'm mean, but hey it's all fun. If you're going to put an ad up like this you have to be able to take a little ribbing.

I LOVE the look of the car tho. I think that the ducktail is the best looking 'tail on a P-car.

Here is another excerpt, at the bottom of the description:

"TO ANSWER AFEW E MAIL THIS WAS A 911 T ORIGINALLY WITH A STOCK 2.4 MOTOR WHICH IS STILL STOCK"

I don't understand: is the "T" model possible as an RS? I am still pretty new to these years, concentrating as I do on the SC model I own.

Love the car allthesame.

It looks as if it's been converted to the RS "look" and not had the engine updated as well. That seems to be pretty common. "I sure look fast, but I'm in fact the cheapest model from that year!" http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif People kill me sometimes.

Why isn't the trunk cover closed in one pic, but closed in another? Hmm.

I'd give him $6k. I bet he gets $12k.

Why would this guy dump $25K into the car and then unload it?

$10K for a paint job and then sell it?

This guy better be broke or this is one on the worst business decisions I have seen in a while.

Either this is a shady deal or the guy is a moron. Come on $800 for a visor and a $10K paint job and you do not know the color!

I wonder what crazy number he has for the reserve, $50k!

I love the oxymoron, "ORIGINAL OLD STOCK WHEELS FROM PORSCH NEVER DRIVEN". How can the wheels be "old" and "original" and never been driven on a car with 70k miles?

You've never heard of NOS (New Old Stock) parts?

I always thought those were Nitrous Oxide parts!!! Haw! http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif

Funny how he says he needs the money for a new store he has and then mentions he will accept a watch or guitar for the car.?????

It sure looks good from 200 miles!

A shady deal? Ebay? Nah, never. Everyone who uses the internet is an upstanding citezen, I thought.

Charlie, nope, but I have now.

Does anybody know what kind of lift that is in the pictures? It seems every time there are interior shots of a Porsche shop they have that exact lift.
