I pulled the listing on ebay because it was at ~$5,500 for several days and I still see no evidence that it was going to sell for much more. I recieved several e-mails after tellling me they were going all the way to $5,800 at the end with a bid....Big F'ing deal! I'm not a Porsche dealer but I'm not a Porsche car charity either.

Additonally, my inbox was getting filled up with messages from angry ass holes demanding (in very rude ways) that I volunter the VIN number. None of your f'ing business!!!!!! The car is crashed, I am trying to protect the buyer from being attacked later when they choose to sell. There are numerous jerks on the net (you know who are and who aren't) that track these things just to screw up folks who spend real money doing proper fixes and restorations to crashed cars. People who are fans of these -6's should welcome restorations so they don't all disappear! It's better for everyone and it's shameful that a few jerks mess things up for the rest of us.

Finally, the car is aparently worth more in parts than potentially alive as a restored car. I have reluctantly decided to strip it, sell off all the parts and use the chassis (safety cell only) for a planned race car build I need to do. It was never salvaged so I'm really disappointed in having to do this but these cars just don't bring sufficient money to justify fixing it...I guess.

Now, I circle back to this listing to see that it's turned into a Dork Magnet. I appreciate some of the thoughfull comments a few of you made regarding protection of numbers for others etc. but the fishy comments might be revealing the source of the recent messages I've been recieving. It's simple, if you don't want the car....don't buy it.
