why don't I get a job in the states?

You guys have all the luck.
More cars and specialists than you can ever need.
Like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=600171055

I don't expect to see too many like that in UK, my '84 even has rust (sniff)

Maybe I will look into working in US for 6 months

Question

Where does this quote originate? What's behind this one?
"gray Joseph-Beuys-approved felt carpeting"

Note in this auction that one bidder retracted as he felt that the VIN was incorrect.

Does this look odd? My '84 cab VIN has letter at the start and in the middle.

Is this fishy?

VIN decoded

The VIN 9119210374 reads:

911 = 911
9 = 1979
2 = 911SC US 3.0 liter
1 = Targa
0374 = Sequential Serial number

I agree that the descriptions are a little bit 'cheesy' but he is trying to sell the car..

I must say I was a little disappointed. A Californiaclassix ebay listing without a tired looking bimbo.

As for the VIN, Porsche didn't go to the 17 digit number (Starting with WP0) until 1981
