It's a somewhat bizarre hoax that's been doing the rounds for at least a couple of years. Maybe started by a Nigerian?

Not sure, but I appreciate this line in there: "I shall indeed interpret all that I can,but I cannot interpret all that I should like."

If he or she is trying to say that slope-nose car pictured is a surviving original 901 prototype, they ought to get it to Howard Freeman in Mississippi (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/530206-found-30-years-later.html) quick and have him return it to spec.

This is the craziest thing. This car is currently listed on ebay Porsche : 911 Prototype 911 in Porsche | eBay Motors for $16,000,000.00 :confused:

I guess you could count me among the "philosophical" inquirers (as he put it). What if I blew $16M on a scam? Hmmm... Inquiring minds want to know.

Just shows the Goverment can't force you to take your medication.

I'll sell my '71T for 1/10 the price, and it's complete and more original.

This has been around for years:

Nut ball that has been trying to sell his rusted "prototype" for years

That's been on there for years. Completely bogus IMHO.

HawgRyder 09-22-2012 09:38 AM

Remember...there is one born every minute...the seller is hoping to find that "one".
Perhaps he can be beaten down to only $10M....LOL

I don't think it is a scam. I think the seller is merely psychotic. Poor guy...

After examining the concept of trying to make sense of something the came from someone who is completely irrational I did the only thing that made sense.

I grabbed a beer and moved on!

RWebb 09-22-2012 03:10 PM

maybe that guy in Wyoming will buy it...

As a consolation , here is a genuine rusty prototype story that has played out quite well...and the final chapters remain to be written.
Of course you can skip to the ending but there's no fun in that. At least read the first few pages.

I think this guy just posted to the forum.

Paulporsche 10-09-2012 08:10 AM

He's trying to say," Send me your money...".

Either that or he's asking for Jerry Seinfeld's phone number.

Hard to tell which.
