This one had nice paint 3 years ago, and new interior. Its owner went overseas, and the car was left in the care of a moron.

This also shows signs of being reupholstered before it was parked. The window has been down with no cover for at least 2 years. The original manual is in the glove box, curled from the rain.

great running before parked. Owner just too lazy to finish body repair. Too bad.



Just letting it sit, so the weather destroys the paint and interior, exceeds the original repair cost.

Not really a porsche, (sorry guys) but concept is the same. Neat car neglect.

This car is mostly original and complete too.

Wow...a real live Opel GT ! I haven't seen one of those in quite a while.

I would love to get my grubby hands on one of the Porsche reflectors that runs between the tail lights
