Does the car audio mod industry make purple radiators, fans and master cylinders? Considering how there is overspray on everything under the hood, that funky ground wire color is very likely a result of straight up negligence and laziness.

I'm not sure you know the difference between overspray and just plain being painted.

I don't know what it is, but in general Canadian BMWs are grotesquely overpriced in the vast majority of listings I've seen.

If you're looking at US prices the comparison doesn't really work - they cost more here in the first place, there are fewer of them left (especially in atlantic canada) and the used ones tend to hold value much better. A nice late-model e36 coupe is still gonna be 5-7k.

Of course, that one is just insane. I count 4 e46 m3s in my city that cost less.

Ever since someone mentioned the rule that "investment" and its derivatives anywhere in an ad means a car is comically overpriced, I keep seeing it everywhere. He paid $7500 for the car, $2500 on a body kit and MAD TYTE rims, so therefore it's a $10k car and will never depreciate in value. Of course, no mention of engine work, because bodykit and wheels alone add ~25 WHP.

"Purchased durring the 2002 tuner craze" means at the height of price markup. Maybe it would be worth $10k if it were a finished car, not a Bondo'd rolling shell.

A GT convertible went for $15,574 in 1987. I guess it's a collector, so it's gone up in value.

Although it does look alot like the GT in Vanilla Ice's video, so there's that.

Uh, no, it's actually pretty close.




Maybe I should have posted the auction text, because I'm not entirely sure you get what you're looking at:


quote:

!!! THE BUGGATI VEYRON REPLICA KIT SCUPTURE!!!

The very first and only known replica moulding of the BUGATTI VEYRON !!! It is one serious piece of art !!! This is a hand sculpted model piece over a stretched 1999 Porsche Boxster without the engine or transmission or interior, that the buyer can have for several uses completely within his or her discretion. This is a very detailed and close to scale work of art !!!

It was hand sculpted on the Porsche chassis with clay over foam, then bonded with fiberglass. It is very solid and recently primered, sanded, and repainted.

Honestly the pictures does not do justice to how nice and detailed a job was done on this piece. IT IS NOW FULLY PRIMERED AND READY!!!

The engine, transmission, and interior are already removed from the chassis, but the wirings are still there.

Please note that IT IS NOT a functioning kit car for the road, if you are interested in this for a kit car THIS CAN ONLY BE USED AS A PLUG TO MAKE KITS, IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, OR INTERIOR !!!

The 1999 Porsche Boxster chassis has a Clean and Clear Florida Title with exempted mileage !!!

Obviously it is a work in progress and there is room fore improvement, but if you've read this thread you've seen worse.

This is a rare glimpse into the genesis of a completely inappropriate kit car.
