Dubious if the car has 5894 original miles... https://www.diamondmotorworks.com/1973-pors...arga-c-4254.htm Short video of the outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cAVkUUa1Xs Has the VIN listed as "473291972" but assuming they mean 4732901972 which isn't in the VIN database. Has the front euro turn signal lenses and the kit to relocate the parking light to the bottom, so some previous owner was detail oriented lol.. |

Bueller . . . Bueller . . . . Anyone?
Yeah . . . totally unmolested. I guess it's really saying something when the scamming has ramped up to this level. The driver side corner of my car was clipped long ago before I bought it with crappy lap welding to boot (still needs to be fixed as of 2022). It was hidden far better than this. Driver side appears to have a slight buckling / kink from the hit too. Don't get me started on the "unmolested" addition of gas struts to the rear deck lid with an angle iron bracket. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I feel slimey just having read the listing. Gotta go take a shower . . . |

yup wiped out from the right side, pulled back out as best as they could, wheel well clip, fender installed improperly, (wide gap) wrinkling and distortion remain in the front trunk area. Also who would replace carpets in a car with only 5000 miles on it?

Also who would replace carpets in a car with only 5000 miles on it? You know, I have no problem with 914s that have been damaged/repaired, every one i have ever owned has been to some extent. But trying to pass it off on an unsuspecting buyer as "unmolested" and "arguably the best in the world" along with forging documents and VIN discrepancies I take issue with. If this isn't outright criminal it sure feels close. |
