What are the odds...twin cars!

Amazing that this member was lucky enough to find an identical ´85 Carrera to that he had for sale a couple of years ago.

Miracles do happen after all

CRAZY! A flipper misrepresenting a car? Impossible.

No, it takes time to drive all those miles in reverse.

Good one, Silber.....!

Look at the carfax (eBay) you will see that the car had 61.000 mls under the belt in...........1990!

Amazing history this car has

The owner describes the exterior/paint as:

"Paint looks great and seems to be mostly original but may have been touched up in certain areas and some of the trim needs to be refinished- Car looks stunning--Takes your breath away"

Look the the close up of the passenger door - I cant imagine how you can get original ´85 paint to look like that. Maybe an hour with a blowtorch and some pliers would do the trick?

They're obviosuly not the same car. But its still interesting that the one on eBay now has had only a few thousand miles in 20 plus years
