"Tremendous Potential"

I've never seen one that rusty before... You can actually see the car falling in half.

Funny, came across another ad by them for a 914 that was about to break in the middle just last night. With the lights out on a quiet night you could probably hear the tin worms munching metal....

I think that ad has been around for awhile. With a lower price each time. Tremendous potential. To end your marriage.

It's not in half...so yes I've seen worse.

If you want to cry check out my old 914 mass grave thread.

Upon purchase and the return of the 914 I built in 1984 this last fall, it came with a parts car that was in appearance less advanced rot than the one in the ad. Long story short, while parting out the car, I laid across the threshold to remove an item and the car broke in half. Looking back I was amazed that I was able to winch this vehicle onto my trailer, survive the 5 hour trip, and roll it off once home.

I know a car is worth whatever someone will pay for it, but would anyone really pay $1500 for that?

I took a picture of this car a couple years ago. Seller was parting it out but you had to remove the parts. Remove your own windshield, bumper tops, ect. She was selling the interior but it smelled so bad of mold, I couldn’t get within 10 feet of the car.

The core drivetrain is worth $1500 assuming its there and mostly complete. the other parts are profit.

In this case, the car accurately reflects the seller.

Is that a “dragger” chassis?
