It is ugly and says "player" but ...
It isn't a horrible deal at $7500.

Yes, and what an absolutely gorgeous "Corvette" engine, too. Carburetor and all. Vettes have used efi for, what, 20 years now or so?

I have to admit that my initial impression was "damn! Some people need to keep their negative opinions to themselves." Proceeded by "wait until I start on my ice green 911" BUT then I looked at the ad and then "DAMN! .... nevermind, that thing is
!" Did you guys see the vert? Well here let me show you:  Is it the area? 1967 Porsche Convertible |

Until recently, the only thing different between a 327ci or 350ci Chevy engine and a Corvette engine was the internals. So it isn't inconceivable that this engine is "Corvette spec" if it isn't a Corvette engine. I just don't think it makes sense to put any iron block V8 into the back of a 911.
I really would like to know what movie set this car was built for. |

I have seen a lot worse. Much worse. My only comment on this is - if you are trying to sell your car, wouldn't you at least vacuum it out before taking pictures?
