DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! ScottyBoy's old rust bucket Options

[era vulgaris]

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)

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

I'm not a tremendous fan of BAT but at least there, the peanut gallery chimes in and can help tamp down unwarranted enthusiasm and unrealistic pricing. No such thing on E-Bay.

Well unfortunately that's changing too--they banned @RFoulds for his comments exposing another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) turd sandwich of a listing on there. The comments on BAT were what *used* to keep it a community oriented plaform, those days are over, it's a money machine now and they don't want the negative comments killing their revenue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Not quite the whole story IMO, he got banned cause he got personal. He let a troll get under his skin. That s the unfortunate part of BAT, bunch of uninformed trolls just wanting to stir up drama.

I asked one guy to explain how he could possibly call that POS "one of the best 914 he had ever seen." the guy was a fucking idiot.

Uninformed troll??? Really? As for getting personal, I asked one guy to explain how he could possibly call that POS "one of the best 914 he had ever seen." the guy was a fucking idiot.

Just got and sent you a reply via pm, slow down and take. Look at what I said.

I said you let a troll get under your skin (I would have too after the comment he made, so no judgements here). I’m not calling you a troll or uninformed…

Yes that guy was an idiot, but he was egging you on, on purpose, to get you riled up. It worked, it got personal, then they banned you.

That’s my point, many of the commenters on BAT are not buyers, there’re not informed and they’re not enthusiasts, they’re trolls just looking to stir up controversy.

I did misunderstand your comment, so I apologize. thanks for the explanation and patience with my old brain.
