I used to think European Collectibles was a high end early Porsche seller. That was before they destroyed 6 beautiful 356 cabriolets they had on consignment on the way back from a car show. Then they advertised for sale a 68 911S s/r coupe advertised as all original condition with light restoration for the owner - when in fact that car had its entire roof clip replaced with a different year sunroof coupe. They drop another notch in my book when they serve up a bastard like this and pretend what they are selling is something special that the factory would/should have done...

Yeah, "coulda, woulda, shoulda"; but they didn't. That leaves it as little more than a hacked up old "T". I've already got one of those...

I don't actually see them say anything about the car.
Just the pictures... which speak for themselves.

That's a can of worms that shouldn't be opened.

I don't believe that they had any any control over the situation beyond picking the carrier. It was a very unfortunate chain of events that led to the very unfortunate end result.

Edit: The destruction in question was caused by a train, right?

[jaudette3]

Let's set the record straight - the destruction of those cars was not caused by European Collectibles. It was a dumb decision by a transport driver and a tragic accident. There was a discussion here.

The smashed black Speedster was owned by the owner of European Collectibles and he had worked on it for many years. It was a top of the world car and the picture of it lying on its top makes me queasy.

I have no association with those guys, never even bought a car from them. But as I say, let's keep the facts straight.

This car resembles a show car that made the rounds in north Cali, then disapeared. I dont think it had the big bulge over the engine, but more of a streamlined tail like the 550's. I think an R gruppe member from Sacramento with the first name "George" was doing a project much like this but with out ugly A** end.

as they say , never let the truth get in the way of a good story,,,,,,

there was not 6 356 Cabriolets, the stupid thing they did was hire the wrong transport company , but European Collectables was not driving the truck !

And yes a train hit the transport truck when it got high centered on the train tracks.....

for 911 content , one of the cars was a 911 that got bashed in the rear hard.....
