Do you mind telling me what dealership and where this is located?

I've been trying to locate the owner/car since it drove off from my booth at the SEMA show last November. If I recall, it was headed to Texas.

Any info can give would be extremely helpful. I've gotten hit up to get this car in like 5 magazines since it was at Sema. Thanks!!

It was in my booth at the show. CSF radiators - there is an article on the car on Speedhunters as well. Just google - Liberty walk Porsche Speedhunters, and it will show up. We took the photo shoot at the empty level at the top parking lot of the Venetian.

Since I'm a nosey ****, and since I share some personal interest with the vehicle since it was in my SEMA booth. I've been doing some talking with sales people at the dealership about this.

1) I called the dealership in Houston, and asked what the price of the car was. Amateur sales guy says "make me an offer" I'm like, that's not how it works bro.
I entertained him and said $100k - he comes back immediately and says how about 180k.. So I guess that's the price of the car. Could have just told me that in the 1st place, but whatever...

2) I get a call back the next day saying that the car is headed to a dealership in So-Cal, but that he can ficiliate the sale for me if I'm interested. I ask what's the dealership, he said he couldn't tell me. I told him to learn how to sell a car

3) Sunday, I get a call from the new dealership telling me they got my info from the 1st guy, and to see if I was still interested. I said maybe, depends on the price. Was told we haven't gotten the car yet, manager has to see it to price it out.??

My thoughts so far:
1) besides the fact that this car is heavily moded with a cut up body, the jokers involved in selling this car aren't doing the seller any favors

2) what do you think this car will sell for? What do you think its worth? If you had the money, and wanted the car.. How much would you pay?
You can read the article with all the specs on the car here:
http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/11/liberty-walk-runs/

I'm toying with the idea (not really) about seeing how much they will give me for my RUF conversion "pts" 996tt with 35K miles.. It would be a lot easier to sell my car then this one. Manager might give me a good deal to get something else in which he can move quicker. The market for a car like this is about .01% of all potential buyers.

Thoughts??
