Wow....just wow.

I saw this car on our local Craigslist and thought the pictures were interesting enough to post here for posterity purposes. Listed as a "Convertible Porshe replica 959".

BTW: I know how to spell Porsche...it was misspelled in the ad.

Yikes! VW four banger?

[Ronnie's.930]

WOW - all show and NO go!

[kwyjibo]

yikes, what did get hacked for that thing? It has 4 lug wheels but its rear engine - so did they do the opposite of a 914-6 and transplant 914 suspension to a 911/912?

It looks like a decently executed..... bad plan.

Just noticed that is shag carpet on the rear of passenger compartment. May not be a vw bug mod... may be a vw van mod.
