I know, its still for sale by another again.

The mods and body work are good. just needs a wrap and a few tweaks to be epic...

I am just curious as to the history of the car and who built it etc...

Everything looks slightly off. Not a fan of the side molding, the widening makes it look off balance, and I don't know what to say about the front bumper. Why is it angled like that on the bottom? The general thought I have when looking at it is "bulbous". But to each his own. A lot of money went into it.

I figured LOTS of money went into it and a few tweaks would bring it back to hotness. Just get a bad vibe from it

MBH has a spectacular aura aboutMBH has a spectacular aura about
looks like an RWB gone wrong. Just looks kinda puffy/swollen, rather than muscular and shapely like you'd hope a wider body 996 would. At least in those pictures. Sometimes lenses can cause a bit of fish-eye and make things look a bit awkward.

Also, the rear tires look a lot taller than the fronts in a few of the pictures. If it's not RWD, I'd be a little worried about that

I agree. The GMG car seems out of proportion. I like the RWB cars a lot. I'm actually looking forward to a RWB 996. If there was to be inspiration for a race themed RWB car, I hope it's something like this....

I was looking at it to and a good friend of mine just said "run And run fast" ... It's still on eBay... They r using a blow by system to make sure the car won't smoke ... He said alot of money went into it but it's just too much stuff ... Idk seems fishy to him
