I wonder how much of that car is actually original? Maybe just the frame?...on second thought Porsches are unibodys? Hmmm.......and even suade interior parts? porsche puts lots of suede in its interiors.........Hmmm if I am not mistaken aren't these the nice folks that threaten to come after you if you place a bid and then back out for some reason? Just be sure that you really want this car before placing your bid. Please read the little disclaimer at the end of the ad first and if you feel comfortable dealing with these nice fellas go ahead and place your bid. Nice looking car by the way fellas, very nice. You do good work.
