when looking and finding hard to find cars you dont want to be all excited takling pictures showing up every other day you dont want to let the person know you are interested you want them to think its a hassle to take it off their hands , you want to make them wait and think you are not interested anymore so when you show up agian they are happy to see you , if you are there every other day taking pics and checking it out you will reveal you are really into and the price seems to go up it a mellow dance to get a great deal anyone can pay fulll prices
but not me
i will post pics once i get them into my barn and and we can figure out if it is real or a replicas
No offense, but it does sound a bit fishy. I know if I found something resembling a Spyder (Replica or not) in a barn (plus a 914) for $1000, I would not be waiting around for someone else to come and buy it out from under me.

This group is very helpful and informative, and the board is an excellent resource. The problem with posting a "found in a barn" story is that this is a pretty skeptical crowd. However, once we all know it is legit, you will have an abundance of support and help. I'm not sure how much technical info you are going to get from your "Mercedes board", but the collective Porsche knowledge here trumps almost anything out there in "cyber space".

Actually, taking pictures and posting them here could be a great help to you. Then you will have everyone coming out of the woodwork to tell you EXACTLY what you are looking at. Then you would know what you are getting into and/or just how great of a deal it would be.
