Without the paintjob and airscoop. I'd drive it. ( I'd change the wheels though)

Oops, then I saw the interior....

That specific color is "Beautiful Red" "oviuosly"...

The "plenty of gettyup" option is "oviously" included.

The price is right for the right party... "oviously"

I sent him this e-mail:

"Is the car a turbo? Also, I am a pimp and a "player". Does this car attract undue attention from the police? I'm worried about any unnecessary attention".

His reply:

"The car is not a Turbo. It does have TURBO on the trunk for good looks. Never got a ticket or unwanted attention from the police. Does get plenty of attention though for ovious reason. Thanks for your question. "

Only the best:
I recently put in a Brand New AM/FM radio
The Headlights POP up and DOWN on command
This car has little trunk room but if needed you can use the back seat for suitcases
This car has plenty of "gettyup." You will love showing off in it

wonder if it has a throw-up bag dispenser?

Well...considering that neighborhood (which I know well), the fact that his last two purchases on E-Bay were gold Lexus SC430 emblems and a gold Chicago Bulls emblem, and assuming it is the seller pictured in the reflection of the below pic, I would say his efforts were right on the money...

Here's the seller in his Corvette. Apparently the "Fruit Loops meets Bob Marley" color scheme is big in Brazil...

WOW....what a shame to do that to a 911.
I can understand artistic or personal touches...but

Oh, it's a "custom paint job." To separate it from the Factory paint jobs that look like this.

For some reason, this reminds me of Boogie Nights... the Corvette in that movie was originally going to be a pimped-out Turbo-look 911.

The vanity plate is "FORT NOX"

Is that because it is so horrible that you cant get in ?

Or maybe it isn't worth anything ?


WOW ... I really try to at least appreciate other forms of motorsport and the effort some go to ... this is a hard one to appreciate.
