You just dont understand art. That miata is a driving (fully restored) mural. Sure, to a random car guy, the artwork doesnt add any value, but to someone who curates a museum, or art gallery, or has a spacious home, or enjoys driving ecclectic cars...it could easily sell for that price.

I can envision the body panels spread out, and mounted on a wall in a modern art wing. There is a lot to work with.

Hint: in which states is it legal to marry your sister?

Hint2 (Brainack edition): explain why the state regulation of marriage is a good thing, given that the first marriage licensing requirements in the US were the product of the anti miscegenation laws of the Jim Crow era.

he is dreaming to get 28k out of that car.

Properly built V8 cars that are built at FM sell for that.
Home built cars half that or less.

Cossie Escort on BAT

Oh, my...

In Canada, and now legal to import... I'm guessing the bid will at least triple the current $21k.

I am selling a 1995 Mazda Miata with 115000 miles on the body. The engine is a fully built 2.0 stroker from Flyin Miata built in 2013 https://www.flyinmiata.com/flyin-mia...roker-kit.html . It has the FM2 Turbo setup from Flyin Miata https://www.flyinmiata.com/fm-ii-tur...8-chassis.html . The clearcoat is blistering and it needs a paint job. The driver side door has a dent in it but I have another door that will go with the sell. The interior is clean but slightly gutted to save weight. I have all the receipts and paperwork for the engine build and turbo setup. It moves quick and is fun to drive! $6000 obo

^Why? That thing looks money sinkhole clusterfuck.

2008 Porsche 997 911 Carrera S w/ LS6 Engine Swap - $45000 (Timonium, MD)

https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto...718052487.html




Hey Guys,

For sale, as the title says is my CLEAN title 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S w/ that of an LS6 engine swap. While the car started its life w/ the factory 3.8L flat-six a catastrophic engine failure followed by an unsuccessful rebuild by a local Porsche master tech forced me to take matters into my own hands and install that of a GM LS6 mated to the factory Porsche G97 transmission (6spd). While some may feel such is blaspheme, the car has been well received not only by purists, enthusiasts, but also a few social media/television personalities as it still feels and handles like the 911 we've all grown to love however sports enough torque to sling shot out of any apex and quickly gain the lead on the following straight due some amazing figures w/ the LS6 engine (+5lbs over stock, +125hp over stock, and +105ft/lb torque over stock) as such made a solid 418whp and 398tq when dyno'ing. I've listed such because there are other projects (personal, business, etc) in which I'd like to clear funds up for however am not willing to sell this car to the average consumer as it's not meant for someone simply looking to "get into" a Porsche; in all honesty this should be bought by someone looking for a dedicated track toy or simply willing to give the car what I couldn't.

At this point almost everything has been replaced on the car mechanically (minus MISC bushings) and for what it's worth to my knowledge is the first road-going 997 LS swap in the states; the engine has 60k miles and the chassis roughly 98k miles (the swap itself has 5k miles and will continue to grow as I love driving this car). Please see below for a detailed list covering exterior, interior, and most importantly performance/swap modifications. If you have any questions and/or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me regarding such however note, I will not entertain trades, low-ball offers, or anyone simply coming to test drive the car.

Exterior (Body)

- Professional Porsche 336 Mexico Blue Respray (glass removed, trunk, hood, jams, etc)
- OEM Porsche Aerokit Front Bumper w/ Custom Mesh Inserts
- GT Racing Aerokit Style Trunk/Wing w/ Custom Molded Vents
- GT Racing GT3 Style Rear Bumper

Exterior (Lighting)

- OEM Porsche Bi-Xenon Headlights (re-finished in matte black)
- Faux Special LED Tailights, LED/CCFL Fog Lights, LED Plate Lights

Interior

- OEM Porsche 997.2 GT3 Alcantara Steering Wheel
- Faux Special RS Door Pulls (Street Version/Yellow), Yellow Tach Dial
- OEM Porsche 336 Mexico Blue Color Matched Console/Cup Holder Trim

Wheels

- Vorsteiner Flow Forged VFF101 Wheels (Carbon Graphite, 19x8.5 +45mm, 19x11 +52mm)

Suspension

- KSport KontrolPro Coilovers

Performance

- GM LS6 5.7 V8 Engine

- OEM GM LS7 Lifters/LS7 Lifter Trays
- Texas Speed Magic Stick 3 Camshaft
- FAST 102mm Intake Manifold (Black)
- Lunati Dual Gold Valve Springs .660"
- Manley Chromoloy Pushrods (7.345)
- ALL NEW (OEM LS3 Water Pump, Harmonic Balancer, and G8 GXP Alternator) and Starter

- Porsche G97 Transmission

- Spec Stage 1 Clutch Kit (Disc, PP, and T/O Bearing)
- KitCarChassis Adapter Plate, Flywheel, Hardware

Exhaust

- JCH WeldFab Cusom SS Exhaust (Manifolds->Back)

Technical

- GM E40 PCM (swap utilizes DBW)
- Porsche Motronic DME (runs gauges via OEM Porsche sensors fitted in GM LS6 block)

The only CONS to this swap currently is that I have not had success in wiring up the tach, as a result the cluster looks like a Christmas tree as such doesn't think the engine is running however believe an analog->CAN converter could solve this issue, the AC is also there however my rubber lines are a few inches too short (sit on the manifold when connected so need to be lengthened).

I have a few extra items in 100% new condition which I'll include such as a spare G8 GXP alternator and high-torque mini starter.

If interested and would like more information, pictures, etc please don't hesitate to contact me regarding such however please don't waste my time as I'm NOT pressed to sell and may possibly decide on keeping/finishing it - (443) five one seven 9238, thank you.

It's not you.

Internet Brands, the owner of this forum and the software which runs it, is being paid huge amounts of money by the Ukrainian government to make all of our lives as miserable as possible by publishing shitty, untested, bug-laden software which is far worse than whatever preceded it.

(Timonium? Really? That sounds like a fictitious element in a Marvel comic.)
