I wasn't sure whether to post this in the garage or the classifieds. The 72 rust bucket that former, and currently banned, forum member ScottyBoy sold me, is for sale for an absurd price. (It's a long story if you weren't around on the forum back in 2013-14)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/115439386827?hash=...moAAOSwt~9isynj

The longs on this car are toast, there are multiple holes in the floors and inner fenders, and the entire thing is loaded with bondo. It was so bad that when I took it to Black Forest Racing in Denver, NC to get a quote from them on rust repair, they wouldn't even give me a number and told me to sell the car as fast as I can. You know it's bad when a shop that made their livelihood from restoring 914's tells you your car is so bad that even they don't want to work on it. Just about every inch of this car is rusty and basically held together with chicken wire and bondo. When you put this car on a lift without the top on, the door gaps changed a truly scary amount.

Aside from the bigger engine and the roll bar the car has now, it looks like absolutely no other work has been done to the car since I sold it back in 2014. The missing orange paint above the rear bumper is still there from when I had AAA push me with their truck to bump start the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Edit: adding VIN number in case any potential buyers google the VIN. Hopefully this will show up in google search results. 4722908443
