the difference is simple - coupeking's coupe ran, had reworked brakes, was safe to drive and had the original tranny + engine. it was very much worth what it sold for and you had a thorough evaluation by a coupe specialist. i had a conversation with Peter about that car as i was considering buying it ... and probably would have if another coupe hadn't come into play. you simply cannot compare the two cars.
and NO, Motorcar Studio is not shill bidding this car, they are ethical people ... and they do NOT own this car, they are simply selling it on consignment. the slant nose black porsche to the side of this coupe belongs to a good friend of mine.
Yeah don't get me wrong I wouldn't have been surprised if that car sold for more. I loved that car and the originality of it, I also really cant stand red. That's one of the best original coupes i've seen in a wild and you can totally tell it was dry. But you can compare anything depending on monetary value. Whoever bought that car for 32 did good. I hope it stays in the condition its in if it surely is original paint.
I still think the green car is a great car to be considered, and i'm not disagreeing with you because you're mad at me that you didn't buy my housings... I just think its a good base.
Ive bought so many cars sight unseen I can generally get an idea of condition of cars. And I think I've owned some of the most crappiest e9s on this forum as well
But bubbles under paint also don't scare me.
I also view neglected cars like cats and dogs in a humane society. After so long and so many junkyard trips and/or looking over fences or driving through trailer park looking under carports you don't get sad, you just become grateful that they still exist, and do your best to bring them home.
Yeah Motorcar studio flips cars, like most ebay dealer flippers they always make me nervous... but thankfully they're nothing like BHCC. I also really like that yellow 02 theyre selling, if its still available. They have great taste.
