OFFICIAL "I found this on ebay" thread

There seems to be a plethora of "I saw/found this on ebay" posts coming thru these days. I thought perhaps we could condense them onto one thread and just pile it on. Might work, might not.............. I suppose if it does we could do an "I saw this on youtube" as well I will start it out with Motor Rebuilds $7k Anyone heard of these guys or have comments about them. (I dont need them....today, Just saw it while doing a search) Post up the good deals, bad deals, and ugly deals..................

Whew, this thread is tearing them up!!!! check this out... GT2 for under $75k. I dont normally price these, but I saw this and thought it seemed like it was price pretty low??? EBAY LINK

re: inexpensive GT2 the lighting may be partly responsible, but this doesn't look like a 22k mile seat:

I don't have th ebay link, but that is where I found the new upgraded stereo system for my Honda. No fugly XM roof antenna for me!

Here's a 550 replica in Charleston, SC. I've always wanted to drive/own a great replica of this car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...fCarsQ5fTrucks Bob

Quotes source post: 6200628

AWESOME! I sat in one about 6 months ago and all I could think of is ZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM - this little baby must be a BLAST to drive!! Anyone ever seem a real one go across the block? what do they fetch (used to be $500k I thought)

here is a nice ad: You know if I was going to buy a car on ebay I would like it if the seller took this many pictures. This car howere is nothing I am interested in BUT check out this interiro color........ might want to look before lunch so you dont loose you lunch...... Link to Auction and photos

The red is not so bad. Close your eyes and picture the Nephrite Green interior in this car, then the Boxster Red looks absolutely gorgeous. I did notice that one of the tires is mismatched to the other two shown.

Speaking of Red interiors, here is an '08 C2S in Carrara White with Carrera Red Leather interior with deviating black carpet. '08 C2S Carrara White with Carrera Red Leather

Baltic Blue with Sand Beige Full Leather 2006 C2 Baltic Blue Sand Beige

I liked the White/Red combo. Sometime ago I also saw (on the 996 board) a Meridian Silver/Red combo ... very nice looking IMO.

Tim, You think you could photoshop a good combo nephrite green/boxster red interior? I'd like to see what that would look like.

The question is......... WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE THAT???? Are you looking for a Christmas Porsche??? Next you will want an Easter Porsche in pastel pink, blue, and yellow! I'll see what I do with photo shop. It may be a while.

damn.... there are a sea of Porsche out there!...

Quotes source post: 6201515

I really like this one, they brought back some graphite lines to the insides and not a sea of mustard thing like the MKII 996's - that's a nice looking ride IMO

Quotes source post: 6201515

That's really a beautiful combo - the Baltic is incredible looking. Needs better wheels, but the blue over tan is gorgeous.

LINKY LINKY 02' Aero - low miles - $33K Not much of a description or pics, but isn't that a fairly good deal on a farily hard to find car?

Me thinks that's not a factory Aero. Mk I skirts and a non MK II GT3 wing (that's a carrera wing) on the MK II. Nice color combo though.

Suspenssion Here is a nice take off - is this PSSXX???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...1%7C240%3A1309 how would you wash it?

Quotes source post: 6216337

That is seriously the Fugliest car on the planet.... OMG!!! Too funny

Quotes source post: 6216576

Do you really think so???? D'oh! I wonder if I can cancel my bid?

WOW could not believe someone could waste so much money and do such things to a nice CLK. The crazy part is that 23 people bid on it...

That CLK is horrible - it's as bad as some of the plastic surgery that actresses use nowadays. Here's an equally disturbing modification/example - just tragic:

OMG! I thought that was the silliest car I have ever seen, until I saw the neon lights - now I know it is. It's like watching a train wreck, horrifying, but you can't stop looking at it...

OMG!!! I didnt see the neon, must have added it after I looked Where is that "throwing up" smiley !! I really always wanted a TV for my arm pit too... nice touch I think a reality TV show where they drive it off the end of a ferry in deep water and see how long you can still see it before it disapears into the abis would be a great place for this "ride"

Quotes source post: 6217572

LOL. That CLK is really ugly.

I hope someone out bids me!!! Oh wait........ "Reserve not met" .............. aahhh!

Not on ebay, but pretty funny! Wine Opener

That's a $3000 fix for a common 996 problem. Looks like a $10,000 profit machine to me. Not sure what the PNW 996 market is like tho.

LINK 01' Aero on craigslist......black/grey - low miles

wierd, another 01' Aero by me came out today.... this one has a record player in the rear window.... LINK nice looking car though. This is a neat thread, kind of like my own little area where I talk to myself.....

WORLDS FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR - FOR SALE LINK This is kind of interesting

New K&N cai kit $100 - no reserve I know some folks like these... not for me....

Ebay Car Link OK I know this doesnt help me selling the GT2 wing, but I found (on accident) a 99' NB CAB with the wing on it in black..... Tim, i think i will try and sell it on the Honda forum, since you are now a "Lifer" here, can you pass along your user ID and password so i can post it there....

Ed, I'll pass that on to my Honda buddies! OK, this is not on ebay but on AutoTrader. What the hell were they thinking when ordering this color combo? Red 2008 C2S

the outside is sure pretty, but WOW... That is what happens when someone has too many color choices and NO sense of what to do with it (alot like me) That is why I would never special order a car... there is the results (less the GT2 wing in Yellow!!)

Nice move Ed! Did you write the book titled Diplomacy: How to turn Friends into Enemies with one simple comment! ? Of course I shouldn't talk. I just blasted the 997 "Cherry/Chocolate" combo, but at least I didn't do it on the 997 Forum, where I could run the risk that someone had a car with that combo.

I need bigger shoes and a smaller mouth, sorry about that, wierd thing is I have seen that color in person now - not nearly as bad as I thought, sorry for my earlier comment, didn't mean to offend

Quotes source post: 6508278

Is that the same car as the ebay link Ed posted... looks the same.

no, they are not, Torontoworker's is WAY cleaner and WAY nicer !!

I think torontoworker's car looks just fine...it looks nothing like the brown and red combo in the 997 that Tim posted, which I agree looks like ***. Of course, I've never understand some people's infatuation with making the inside of their car look like the outside of their car. I have no desire for a shiny painted-metal look on the interior. Give me some more leather...

I can only say that *I * didn't order this color combo - just got the fruits of someone elses vehicle depreciation. Having said that... the car did spend most of it's life in Vegas, so is the 'bordello red', (my term) really a stretch?

Wow... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

Quotes source post: 6541108

Wow! Under 60K for a GT3....

This isn't on e-bay, but on a Porsche dealer web site. 2002 C2 with 45 miles I just can't understand why this car hasn't sold yet!

that has to be a typo ? ? ? I would sell mine for 1/3 that price

I think someone at the dealer forgot that he drove it home once. That is pretty close to invoice?

LINK to Cup Holder I have never seen this cup holder before. Then yesterday at C&C I saw one. I know some folks ask about options for the stock worthless cup holders, well here is one..... comes from Porsche (so they say)

^^^ its a small flimsy design.... only made for the mk1 model....

Quotes source post: 6555862

Yep I have those and they are marginal at best. they are removable in that they sort of clip into 3 small hole in the air vent. and the drivers side obstructs the ignition switch, but for long drives were your not getting in and out much they do all right. The ebay price on those is a bit funny though. I'd never pay that much for them.

craigslist on a very nice looking C220 if you need one for $100 it's close to me, PM me if you want help with buying it... seems like an OK price considering it looks like new LINK ?

If anyone knows of a 996 with Litronics, heated seats and aero, 99 - 01 please let me know. BTW, Black, Silver, Gray, Navy

the whole car? laughing I know.... j/k PM semt

That one doesn't have heated seats or PSM. It does have sport seats. It's got stone guard on the front and door sills. The miles are a little over 28k now. I've test driven it 3 times.

nice car, when are you going to bring it home? haha....LURKER

Hah. Yep, I'm lurking. I actually have an offer in on a C4S. Waiting to see if the deal pans out. Once I drove that wide body I was hooked.... still like that C2 but I figured the C4S would make more sense with the winters we get around here. Kinda still on the fence I suppose.

I love the wide body, just was out of my price range at the time... maybe the next one... or a GT3

WoW check out this deal on some 19" rims!! http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/1198006844.html Dirt cheap for somone who wants a spare set!

local GT3 rear deck and spoiler - $1k LINK good deal?

Possibly...hard to tell from those pictures. If it's actually a gt3 decklid my understanding is the air intake will be on the wrong side. The aero decklid for not gt3 cars has the inlet on the proper side.

Quotes source post: 6643208

Gee thanks Ivangene. I thought I had this one to myself. It's just on a local CL and he calls it a GT3 spoiler. The word wing isn't in the ad anywhere. I thought it might slip under the radar and I could get a good deal. Not anymore. I thought this was a found on ebay thread!!

Is this a good deal? He is local for me, if you want local support I will offer myself to the cause Or did I read your reply wrong?

Quotes source post: 6644292

I'd sent him some questions this morning about it. It's unclear what he has, GT3 or Aero? OEM or aftermarket? Condition? Wiring harness included? If he didn't get much interest I would have tried a low offer probably. That may be an OK price on it though. If it goes anywhere I may take you up on your offer. I'll let you know, and thanks!

cool, I did not contact him, good luck getting a deal.. any help.... just ask, I'll do my best for you

let all line up to buy this one.... http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/cto/1214401977.html

This one had the rear wiper and that wide body combo in black/black - not a spot on it, looked like it was just detailed, shoot.... the 996's made some really nice cars - thanks for sharing Ferd!!

someone please buy that turbo... I find myself reading the 996TT forums and dreaming of tradeins.... HELP

I emailed the guy. Sounded sketchy. I asked about maintenance records. First response was "I seriviced this car my self. I have my authorized facility." When I asked if I could see the records, response was "I don't have records. I know what I did to it. This car is mint. I am an authorized dealer and mechanic by the way. I bought this car for my self but my wife lost here job recently that's why its for sale for this price. This car worth much more then this my friend" Seems there's always a story when the price is this low.

I'd settle on the shipping and handling before commiting. Heard bad things about some at least ebayers gouging up a price with shipping.

cool, that is a great deal !! I have a comment on Pac's ebay price gouging shipping charges (since I know a thing or two about it) while it is true some sellers on any board charge extra to ship items and you can end up paying more then xpected....keep in mind that shipping rate have sky rocketed over the last few years. I recently shipped a youth bike to Texas and not long ago I could have shipped it for about $50... the cheapest quote I got was $107 (mind you this is under 30 pounds but a little big - not huge) well I quoted the guy $80 off the cuff to cover my time and account for possible overrun, get a box and do the leg work....yea, that was smart!!! so unles you have shipped something... and I dont mean in 1973... I mean lately, dont yell at the person, ask for size and weight and his/her "from" zip code, then go out and get a quote so you can see for yourself what the real cost is! BTW the guy on the bike was nice and offered to cover the extra cost, I declinded as that is how I operate, he donated $30 to Dr's without borders - karma baby....its a good thing!

something smells with this ad: check out this craigslist ad thats been running for a couple months now - note the picture..... http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/1969002689.html

Was that picture in the ad since day one or was it added recently? that 997 is in my hood... would be easy to check.

same pic since day one - I instantly recognized it when I opened that ebay ad...

Then its fishy. I agree.

Quotes source post: 7921445

Why is it fishy? He's looking to buy, not sell. Anyone looking to sell at less than trade-in value should contact him, or me.

IDK - its just wierd that a guy looking for a car for several months is using the exact same picture as a guy selling a cay? wierd more than fishy I guess...might be the same guy looking to buy and flip cars?

OK, there are some incredible deals on parts etc. that you will find on eBay, but you have to be careful and know what you are buying. I will give a some examples and a bad example. About 4-5 years ago I got a brand new, in the Porsche box dual mass flywheel for my 996 for $67. We all know that they usually for $700+, list for over $900. I bought it on a whim and stuck it under my desk. 2 years later it was time for a clutch and also needed a flywheel. It has been in the car since them. Now that was an incredible deal. This summer I got a brand new, OEM in the Porsche box MAF for egas for $69. It is also in the car. Also found a cam advance mech for a 3.4, brand new, for 1-3 side that I got for $100. They seller actually had both sides but I only got the one side as I entered cents rather than dollars at the last minute bid on that one. Sitting in my storage waiting to be needed. Bad Example, I bought a MKI aero bumper that was advertised as "mint" in my color (Ocean Blue). Turned out to be repainted with cracks, etc. in the paint (not in the bumper itself). But then again I only paid $600, so repainting it would bring it up to about what many of the primed bumpers go for. Put it on the car but still have not had it painted, one of these days I will. That is just a few of the items I have gotten on eBay, the list could go on for a page or two, but there really are some bargains to be found if you know the cars and keep an eye out. I basically do a search for newly listed 996 and 997 stuff everyday. It drives my wife crazy!

hey Doug... hint: if you save the search you can receive emails from fleabay whenever an item matching your search comes up newly listed... saves you time sorting thru the gobs of HID kits and aftermarket crap

Quotes source post: 8004545

It's up to $34k now but still a good deal. There seems to be a limited warranty of some sorts and if there were previous service records available, this should be a no brainer for a lot of people looking.

How much would a full carbon fiber trim package cost? If you remove every blue piece and replaced it with CF you might have something.

if you remove the blue parts the car will weight 400 pounds less... just toss em out cuz aint NO ONE gonna buy them from you

If you like the look of a GT3 than they will give your car the same look. Better get off the fence. These won't last long.

I am emailing him on tire condition - will advise BTW - Pete is right, these wont last, I have my hands nearly on them so if you want them I can grab them then work to get them to you (and there are multiple PM's so dont dilly dally) - (no one said "Yes, buuy them" yet)

I am waiting for the status of the tires and the offsets..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORCH...mZ190538151803 These look like a good deal to me no?! Forgive my ignorance, would they fit a 996 C2? off to search......

pretty sure the "wired" versions are for 997's WITH the sport suspension button... do 996's have a "sport suspension" (electronic dampening control) available or can it be added... it doens sound pretty cheap - dont forgot align and corner balance $, sway bar $ drop link $ and then you are set to chew up tires much faster!

Quotes source post: 8623206

I hate all those damn dollar signs..... Out of curiosity, why would you chew up tires any faster? With an alignment without the camber in the back end I would think I'd get longer life out of tires..... I've started to notice some less than ideal body roll so I'm examining options. I want to maintain my drivability, and I'm less concerned with lowering than I am with just improving the handling. I currently don't plan on getting into racing other than maybe a track day a year at most. Ideas?

Chew up tires because the car can go faster around the corners

Ivangene - Thanks for the heads-up on these wheels. I don't know anything about wheels, so I'm trying to determine if they'll fit my my2000 c2 cab. I have "18 inch Lt Alloy Turbo-look" wheels on there now.

The seller was kind enough to send me a TSB about the tires. According to the document, you need to modify the fender lip on 996's up to MY2001 to handle the 11J x 18 wheels. So if anyone else can use them, they're a great deal at $700 (with Pirelli Winter tires). Local pickup only (Westchester, NY)

Actually that's an OK price - I used to sell them - they are nice models - really good detail and proportions for such a small model. Though I agree - it's small! The problem with these little guys is that they don't make all models all the time so if something is out of production ... it goes up in price. Unlike the real cars.

Turbo Twists http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/2661474572.html

in a big box

I have a "pocket listing" on some stock GT3 seats - they are not mine but if anyone wants an absolutely PERFECT set of black seats w/ sliders --I mean PERFECT ...not like some peoples definition of perfect I might be able to help... I am offering them to a friend first....but this is an "act fast price!" - damn sweet deal, I am not kidding

Just got back from driving 90 miles to pickup my E-bay "score" Advertised as 2002 Boxster 3.2 heads off a totaled Boxster with 16,000 miles. I noticed he also was selling a pair of 5-speed trans mounts which are different from 6-speed mounts standard with 3.2 engines. I quized him on this thru E-bay messaging & he avoided the question the 1st time then later said it had a 6-speed & he had sold it that morning. Drove out to pickup heads from "2008hdstreetglide", AKA William Ulrich Jr., but calls himself Harold on the phone, living in a RV park by the LA County/Pomona Fairgrounds. Sure enough they are small valve heads that have been bead blasted to conceal actual mileage. I said he sold the shortblock so I assume someone is in for a shock when they discover what they bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110757701488...S:1123&vxp=mtr

scored!! picked up a set of Simpson Gloves, seat belt pads and a G-Force beck brace for under $20 !!!! nice spares to have or for a change up.....cant believe I won them!

Anybody see these? Porsche 996 Carrera GT3 MA SHAW FENDERS CARBON FIBER 220890167936 I PM'ed the seller and he says that he had Shaw custom build them for him, and he needs to sell them because he is running out of space. Right... Might even be a good price for fiberglass, but the shipping is an additional 150 and we don't know who actually built them.

Carbon Fiber fenders? BS! I saw a set of flared fenders that looked unbelievable with some spacers in the front. Waaaaay expensive though.

well idk..the guy sells some pretty high $$$ **** and seems to have great feedback (cept one guy...no big deal) seems cheap. are they light? you can always re-sell them for some amount of money if they dont turn out to be what you want...maybe loose $100 and some time?? or make $100????

That may be worth a shot, but the guy is a liar. So no go for me

Yeah, agree with you. I will not deal with liars or dishonest people. No matter how good of a deal it might sound.

These seem priced a bit high. I assume they would work on a narrow body 996. does anyone know what size winter tires would work? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/d...738349180.html

I have not seen ANY local turbo Twists under $700 for a LONG TIME!! I sold mine WITH Blizzaks for well south of that....I hope you are still smiling James

Yep. 'bout ready to put them back on for the winter -- so I can, again, try to completely sand off the finish on the front of the car.

Thanks, it sounds like they are a good price and they would fit my narrow body '04. I am thinking of having a set of 17's for the winter - what size tires for winter would you recommend?

I found a set of 4 18" Sports design wheels with Toyo R888 tires. Picking them up tomorrow. Description: Wheels and Tires for 996. OEM 18" 2-piece sport wheels came as optional equipment on 2000 Carrera 2. The fronts are 18x8 and the rears are 18x11. The front wheels are in excellent shape, the rears have a little road rash on the rims. Silver centers, polished aluminum rims. Markings on the inside of the center section read: 996362. They have Toyo R888 tires. 225/40ZR18; 265/35ZR18. Fronts have only one track day on them and are not even close to the wear bars. The rears are at the wear bars, but show no cording. Excellent grip, no flat spots, well balanced. ---------------------------- Anyone with experience with these?

^ Great find!

James!! my car has "a cold" I will be dropping it off at Chris's later this month for eval/repairs.... right now I am driving the truck, but it has heated seats

Anyone seen this before? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-996-...-/230696276980 For $40, the guy claims to sell you a link to an international website where you can buy a Sachs clutch kit for only $329.

Sounds like the guy's being pretty upfront about what he's doing & seems hard to lose on this deal. I spent 3 hours this week pricing clutch kits for my son's 951, and best I could do was Zim's $520 aftermarket kit. So this seems like it's worth taking a $40 flyer on.

Quotes source post: 9093566

I saw this too a few days ago... currently on the fence about it as I am looking to get a new clutch and if this is legit I could score ~100 off on a clutch set up... Anyone else? opinions on this? -Paul

I think this is Rennlist member AronG based on wording of this eBay list http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-01-Porsch...item35b6ed4d4b where he indicated he sells on Rennlist, this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...ml#post9065975 for 99-01 cars matches the wording of the eBay listing exactly but shows a bit of discount under Rennlist ad. ($430 vs $444 on eBay)

I might have to spend a few time units on google with this one. Sounds genuine to me.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/19-Porsche-wh...item3f0e1a1924 will these wheels fit my 99 996 c1 cab? what tires would i need?

Quotes source post: 9106282

lets see 6 owners, 1 accident and overheating, hmmmmm Its being sold by a dealer. So think, why hasn't he fixed this simple little overheating problem and raised the profit margin. It sounds like it could be a nice project car, but I would not go into it without someone talking a good look at it. As a car to buy to start driving, I think not

Quotes source post: 9109942

No; the description in the ebay ads state fitment for 996 C4S, and Turbos; i.e. widebody Pcars. The rear offsets are too "low", so to speak. for a 19 X 11 rear et should be 58 ( I prefer 60mm) or a "higher" number. also if you go with an aggressive negative camber, you can pry do a 55 offset. Tires for your C2 cab; you can go with 235/35/19 and 295/30/19; another option for a bit more sidewall 245/35 and 305/30.

Quotes source post: 9111745

Agree. I'm in the market, but for a Mk 2 996. I just thought it was interesting that a dealer would disclose an overheating problem and put such a low "Buy It Now" price on it. If it were an easy fix, he would've fixed it, so must either be 1) difficult to diagnose; or 2) easy to diagnose but expensive to fix (and the dealer is sandbagging). It looks like it's drawing plenty of interest based on the number of bids. The Autocheck report says the accident was to the right front of the car and it occurred in 2006, so likely not a factor in the overheating. Might be a good deal for a P-car mechanic who knows what's wrong with it or is willing to take a chance.

I know the MY02 5 spoke wheels are popular, looks like a nice set, no affiliation, bla bla bla... http://www.ebay.com/itm/260965378675...#ht_500wt_1413

^^^ Thanks for that link - now I know where the wheel style for my 04 40th AE comes from. I would get these as non-polished (I assume they are not chrome looking like the shot-blasted 40th AE versions) spares if I had $1100 laying around... At least I can make note of what type of wheels I would need to look for in case of damage - thanks for posting.

Emailed the guy yesterday for ****s and giggles - he claims the P0102 mass airflow CEL. Seemed a bit too simple of a fix to warrant such a low price... and now the description says totally dead motor. Yesterday version: I have it priced low because the engine needs a little work, I have replaced the coils and spark plugs but it will need a maf because there is a code for it and it runs rough.

A great parts car....

we could go to the Test n Tunes this winter and come spring really turn some heads!! BTW they changed the test and tunes, Don K is running them this year not Tom P, and the price DOUBLED - plus they are offering newbies a 1/2 day car control clinic plus instruction to help rope in the rodeo clowns - I have not heard any reviews on how it is going ---- T2 is having a mixed day with motorcycles and cars down at the ridge on black friday I heard - that would be fun (run separate groups)

i've followed that 996 CL ad for 2.5 weeks - 2 weeks ago he described the car as running rough and needing coils or spark plugs - now the ad says "replaced coils and plugs and the car won't start - all of a sudden it died at a stop light" my first question is who at porsche ever thought a champagne or green porsche was a good idea? secondly, i would have to guess this cars engine is toast. sounds like intermix had it running rough and final blow was total shutdown of engine.

the way I read it was an LNE build - oversized the 3.6 did I read wrong?

to dream....

I remember this engine. Its from a wrecked GT2 and some dumbXXX broke the block. Its been posted other places too. The broken block ruins it.

^ Yeah I'd expect a lot more of a discount on welded up block like that. Odds are that it was welded up correctly, but you still need to take a bunch of money off for the added risk.

you're crazy....that little block issue aint crap - there are a lot worse than that running around - has anyone priced a new GT2 motor from Sunset? please post if you find one...I am curious what do you think they go for? what do they actually go for (I know new, and used are apples and eggs - just curious)

If they were dumb enough to break the block, probably with the wrong bolt, what else did they do? Even the "repair" looks awful.

this IS mine - selling for a friend - prefer local deal...will ship, but finding boxes and all that crud it always a PITA - esp here where its still the rainy season! email me - I wont be checking here ivangene at msn dot com http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/pts/3898277527.html

keeping those as I havent goiven up yet trying to get them to fit

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Porsche-356-S...item1e7cc4d89b a bit of a fixxer upper but it has a lot of interest....!

Yeah, but no IMS worries! Seriously, how does a car that special, with only 4,000 miles, get treated like that? Even in 1971, that car had to have been worth enough $$ and unique enough that someone should have at least pushed it into a corner of a warehouse somewhere. To be left sitting outside for something like 42 years? Gator, how's about a paint correction thread based on this one? Seriously, the new trend among museums and serious collectors is "preservation" instead of restoration. I wonder what a thorough cleaning of the paint would reveal? Have you ever worked on a car like this to see what could be done with the original paint?

Yikes! What a shame. There is no correcting that paint. It's bubbling in places and missing in others. If that had been sitting inside then definitely salvageable. Single stage paint is pretty fun to work on. The trick is to feed the oils back into before polishing it. For that car, I would opt for a full rotisserie restoration. Some camps say that unmolested barn finds are best but that one is way nasty.

Yowza on that Speedster!!! Sure is selling for a good price though. Saw this posting today... doesn't this look like a fantastic price for a TT with reasonably low mileage, one-owner car? He's very close to here... mighty tempting.... Am I missing seeing something here? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...item3383542c43

Price looks about right for the miles. Their is one with 87k for 30k bid no reserve too but 1 owner is a pretty big plus imo.
