So you buy the teener for $1500 and get the red car for free? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You might find someone to pawn the Italian car off on, if your lucky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's just the lighting I think.

The dull black finish on the 914 makes it look Ferrari red with a digital camera flash! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I that a Monza exhaust on the back? Ha ha!

read the pics from the original ebay auction.

Neither the buyer or seller's name is who is selling it now.
And what's up with using a previous auction's images and description?

I've seen quite a few DAO's do that to their cars.

I've seen some legitimate reasons for a sunroof in the targa.. someone around here put one in their race car so that they'd have more light for their recording equipment. I've also seen it used to keep the cabin brighter in crappy/cold weather where having the top off would be ridiculous. The problem is, I've never seen a very aesthetically pleasing implementation yet.

Yep.. that's fishy.

That isn't possibly the same car, is it?

So you buy them both and part out the Red job to pay for the resto and -6 converson parts for the black one.

Nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

The "tribute" is a trick to get "Ferrari" into the ad so that someone searching on "Ferrari" will find his Porsche 914....
