Wow. I'm just about speechless from this ad:

I'll save my comments to let you all enjoy it with no expectations. Cute photo, though.

You can get an FD for less! And all of those pictures look older than me! I think I'd rather have the FD for less than this for 20k.

Nice car, asking too much for the price. $12k-15k sounds more reasonable.

Just can't resist the opportunity to poke LearJet45: My friend, I have mayonnaise in my fridge that's older than you!

That said - good observation. Even the red car shots look a couple of decades old. But, heck, it's "Nascar" "Porche" red and we all know how rare that is...

Cars.com has an FC with 62k original miles for under $5k. This thing should be even less than that, or maybe around the same price is the new engine and everything checks out. But 20k? Ha!

I wasn't aware FBs came with Posi-track (duel rear traktion rather, my bad). Shit that's worth $20k alone!

NASCAR Porsche red, who wouldn't want that?

I smell scam. Although I'm not sure just how stupid you'd have to be to think someone would pay that much for a car you can get for about $15k less, even if it was in as good of shape as they say. So if it's a scam, it's definitely a poorly devised one. Someone needs to call and go look at this car in person, take pics, and post them up. I'd be willing to bet it's in really bad shape, if it exists at all.

and it has a new sterio. They reinstalled the gsl emblems in the wrong spot.

Why would you replace all the wiring in the car with new?

I've never heard of redoing the entire harness on these cars and a new one can't even be bought. The would have had to make their own.

Yeah I like Kenwood Sterios, Chris. lol

I was also wondering about the all new wiring. I'm calling BS on that one, even if it is a real car.
