Yeah...I think he used a template from another item he has/had for sale (i.e. "truck"...click on "seller's other items"). This is exactly the guy I want to buy a Porsche from!

If the bidding for this crap-wagon goes higher than $6k, I'm gonna list mine for $50k.

I don't know what everybody is complaining about? I can fully believe that this IS the only 1979 Porsche 959 Sportmatic in the world!

Wow. A body kit Sporto' '79. Does it get anymore rare?

Actually, other than the horrid look of the body kit and those truck rims, I've seen a heck of a lot worse. At least it's cleaned up and seems to be presented well enough as compared to other junk I've seen on eBay.

It'll take a special buyer to snap this car up unless it's dirt cheap. Sporto's are not all that popular and one with a odd 959 body kit will really test the market...

In fact, 79 SC Sportos are rare as they were not a usual option then - however, the SC has been bastardised by that kit - without the kit I'm fairly sure a 3.0 sporto will find a buyer. The engine on that car looks tired though.
