'66 on Ebay - be careful

I emailed this seller Tuesday, asking for VIN and paint code; I also asked where the recent work was performend, and a location and time to inspect the car. I've so far received no response - you'd think he'd be eager to help out a well-accredited buyer who lives within a hundred miles.

Deals like this sometimes raise my antennae - I'm also curious about the lack of pan/suspension pictures. I did a bit of checking this afternoon - my sources say that this is a 912 with very soft floors and rear tub, that has been dolled up, photoshopped, and 911 powered. Note that his '66 sand cast engine' is actually a '68, by the #.

If it turns out I'm wrong, I apologize to to anyone this affects- but some people have no scruples when it comes to $$$$.

Hi guys. I am new to this forum and vintage porsches as well. I also emailed the seller. I received a quick response on the price of the car listed locally. I am visiting oklahmoa city this weekend and emailed him a second time to arrange a time to inspect the car. I have had no response. His first reply was prompt so i am suspicious as well.

I still haven't heard anything from the seller - and the more I look at the pics, the less interest I have. My interestlevel is now -10.

Auction appears to have been ended. This was listed once before, probably a couple of months ago. I contacted the seller requesting some additional photos of the VIN at the time, and while I don't recall the specifics of the response, it didn't make me feel comfortable. I think it sold last time around for somewhere north of $20k, but I wasn't surprised to see it again.

It should be presented as an early 912 hotrod, nothing wrong with that... honesty (except for cars and politics?) is the best policy.

did it actually sell?

I would love top track this car down. I saw the 68 car that the engine on this ebay sale came from the other day. Very straight body, would be cool to re-unite the car with its engine. Any leads anyone?
