My theory of the crime: Thieves trying to get at the catalytic converter cut out the sway bar, gave up, then took the drop link as a trophy.



Oh, and THEN it fell off a 2 story building and and got jumped over a creek.

 

$60K in that condition??? I know its an asking price but really !

 

Did not make it across the pond, fell short.

On a large rock at the edge of water.

Then slid into the water.

 

I really don't think it's all that bad, looks like they drove it and not big on maintenance Ha!
Don't get the suspension issue, maybe they needed to change a wheel bearing, got over their head and just decided to dump the car? Priced very aggressively for what you get to start with IMHO.

 

What's going on with those wheels facing all different directions? Lol looks like Coco the clowns car.

 

One of our local guys has a red on red QV. He is a member on here but ussually stays in the local posts

 

It's funny I was looking into selling my car for about 80k but this make me want to shoot for 100...

Also look at the camber of the drivers side front wheel!!!

 

...and the way the wheels fit in the arches...

 

It needs some TLC......

 

I guess.. everybody makes mistakes... You should have jumped on that deal!!

 

I believe it is but not 100% sure. I have gathered he is very particular about originality from conversations we have had and a good guy to boot. He would be able to answer with more certainty.

 

If you wanted it, it was available (for a price). Euro cars had all kinds of unusual color combos and interior colors. Probably because those customers ordered exactly what they wanted vs. US customers taking pretty standard order combinations, or not being offered the choice to build something totally custom.

all red interiors, brown dashes, cream seats with red piping and red carpets, it was all done at the factory.

(And most of it pretty hideous when deviating too far from one interior color with a contrasting dash and armrests

-w-

 

I've never seen a red on red QV, but many years ago I did see a red on red carbed 308GTS.
Also, as you may recall I have one of the "rare/odd" (depending on if people's tastes) factory interior configurations on my 328, AFAIK its the only one like it. So the odd color combos although rare do exist.

 

If for every "I should have" had a dollar I would be rich!!

 

With wheels like that, I'm wondering how they managed to turn the car around between the first and second shot. Is that rear wheel is on the hub properly? The expansion tank looks like it's held a few bars too much pressure.
