Not much risk at $27.00

Dr Glass used to offer fiberglass front ends, fenders, doors, hoods etc, many moons ago.

I honestly don’t think it is a scam.

I believe it's a forum member's car. After my failed attempt to buy that e9 that was featured in 90210, he messaged me to let me know he was putting it on the market soon. It's not quite what I'm looking for but I thought it looked pretty good from the pics/videos.

They should list it on Bonhams as a 2800 CSL

I actually went and check it out. It is mostly fiberglass body. It needs some tlc interior

Not a scam. It’s mine and you live and learn but I would have never thought that people would think the car is $27.00. Can’t even get a full tank of gas now a days for $27.00 . Wont do that again.

That being said I didn’t post it on the forum as I thought it might not be people’s cup of tea due to its fiberglass mods. I do believe the parts are from Dr Glass and in my humble opinion very well made parts. Couple of pics

Given what we now know may I humbly suggest we amend the title of this thread?
Not really fair to malign a forum member because we are all paranoid

I'm pretty sure that most fiberglass panels that look that good take a LOT of work... Blocking, filling, blocking, more resin, etc. Interesting to see a coupe with that much replaced. Do you have close up photos of more detailed areas? The other side of the story is that the value of these cars has gone up so much that someone might put factory parts back on it.

It looks really good in person. I couldn’t tell the difference.
