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 |

That's how I got conned by ScottyBoy, and is one of the reasons he got banned. If banned forum member's threads didn't get deleted, I could show you the drama. I'll try and find some pics of the rust on my old computer. It was BAAAAAAAAAAD! |

just holes in wheel wells, because you know if you drive in the rain it's nice to cool off when that water sprays onto your legs, which it did to me

Not sure exactly where on the car this is, but this is basically how the entire underside of the car looked. Anywhere that you could see through the goopy undercoating, there was rust scale and holes
Edit: oh wait I know where this is. Driver side front wheel well under the turn signal. You can also see that the flares are fiberglass. Attached thumbnail(s) |

"Good+"? What is that? Better than just good? eBay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
'Will need careful use for several hundred more miles' What? Then it breaks? The ad is more of a warning. Then the new proud owner shows up here. |

"Good+"? What is that? Better than just good? eBay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Ha! I didn't even notice that. I sent the seller a message and asked if he fixed all the rust considering the asking price. Can't wait for the reply, if I get one. I can't recall if this was the guy I sold it to, but it did go to Georgia so it might be. BTW, if anyone is wondering, all of these pics I posted and more were in the ebay listing when I sold it. I don't fuck people over. The problem with this car is that it looks good enough from 10ft that you can easily screw someone with an online sale. But $60k?! That's criminal. If someone actually buys this thing sight unseen, the seller is gonna either get sued or shot. |
