Does this car belong to any one here? Shows to be in San Diego, CA. Says complete restoration before it was hit. Donor car that goes with it is a 75.

The fact that the only picture of a reasonably good shut line is the RH boot (sorry trunk) would be ringing alarm bells in my mind

If the shop was being honest they would have posted pictures of both sides of the car, top down with taga top (hanging over the back of the roll bar etc). At least then people would have a realistic view of just how bad the tub was, but that wouldn't service the 35k price tag.......thank goodness for the community and Toolguy being on the spot

In the UK the paint on its own would be 8-12k, plus repairs......as stated the maths just don't work

Ref vin numbers, equally illegal here to do a straight swap without the proper oversight. I know of at least one car (a 911) that was inspected by both Porsche and the DVLA (your DMV) to verify correct repair / swap. Even then it gets extra chassis stamps to record the change

This car will be repaired at some point, because of the increasing values. However it will also be on the 914 database.....if ever advertised in the future as a one careful lady owner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) we will know the truth
