Car was originally for sale in Sarasota, FL in the AutoTrader (forever) and then on E-bay.
I think some of us questioned the guy about his "ad" on E-bay, if I recall. He said it was the closest thing to a real 916 and blah blah.. he got a barage of e-mails. Then he came and joined here on the group and got feedback from us and changed the ad to reflect what it really was. He got a lot of respect for doing what he did.
Then, if I recall, pictures of this car showed up at either the Porsche Parade or at one of the HSR stops... I recall seeing pictures of this car behind chain link fencing... Maybe at an auction... memory is fuzzy...
Anybody care to search and find the old threads?

Did anyone click on the sellers other auctions? He has 4 pages of stuff including many exotic cars. For you musicians, I saw a signed Kurt Cobain guitar for sale on page 4.

WTF?
"The Buyer's premium is a service fee normally charged in live auctions. Winning buyers must pay an additional amount to the seller based on their bids. "
Never seen that before?

Yep... chain link fence. It's amazing how something so insignificant stands out in my memory!
