Ha! Our Sedan de Ville was Antelope Firemist. Even had a matching vinyl quarter-top.

Meh, he just didn’t have the right people looking for one the week it was on BaT. You do have to want one of these, definitely an acquired taste. But it certainly meets my criteria for NP on an old car - you can’t make an average one this nice for what this one is selling for. Not even close, even if you turn the…

R100RS with period-appropriate Luftmeister turbo kit???

How the hell are 968's getting 20k for that garbage? 

Ha!  Do you have any concept how many bazillions of dollars this would cost?

Exactly! Came here to say this. At the very least if you’re gonna clean the outside, open the trunk and doors and clean the sills and other hidden areas. Then park it somewhere open (not on the grass under a tree) and clean all your rugrat garbage out of there.

If you daily a Denbeigh Super-Chauvanist then this would seem like a reasonable weekend sports car. The rest of us including Tony at the local FIAT specialist vote ND.

My Spitfire is an *old* dude magnet.
