Wow, that's indeed unbelievable.

There are just two alternatives:
a) the current owner has been scammed himself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
or b) the seller is incredibly brazen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Let's have a closer look at the ebay-description:

"factory Porsche 914-6 (ok, a lot of parts) , irish green exterior on black interior (right), my factory Porsche mechanic just freshened up the engine, just rebuilt the carbs, engine and drivetrain in excellent condition, all lights and electrical working in good condition, suspension and the pan are very clean, lines on the car are good, clean interior, all factory 6 parts (cannot be checked, when excatly this has been done?), car was painted and going through a restoration, about 95% complete (not lied so far;-) ), new windshield being installed with all new seals, factory fuchs included as 1 wheel is getting finished,a drivers car, not concourse but could be, priced accordingly.
I got the car from a private owner that had the car painted and needed assembly (interesting: knowing the dammage or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ), let the car sit, and now just getting around to it, too many projects, getting older thus deciding to thin out the stable in battling the wife, deciding to keep one of my turbos. was told in doing research seems to be matching numbers car from all the research done so far (just the parts of it in the rear, right?), Porsche COA pending (worthless, because it's just telling the factory condition). can drop off at the nearest shipper for export (want to send it abroad to an unsuspecting buyer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), will answer questions to the best of my ability in a timely fashion, thanks."

Well, I expect this ad will disappear near-term. Otherwsie it it remains exciting to wait for the reaction (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm going to check the typical buyers in Germany ...
