I dont like what they did with the center dash moniter and the guages... seems it would make more sence to put the guages closer to the driver and the distraction ferther away.
i like what they did with the exterrior, except for the wingless look.

They went to the trouble (and expense) to turbo an N/A car and didn't dyno it? Sounds pretty fishy to me.

+1 on that. Hence the reason it's on eBay. You couldn't pay me to purchase a car off of eBay.

bmw isetta
meshershmit (sp? as usual)
ect...
I like the over all stance, color,and look of the car.. with the exception of the trunk, and the intirror it looks great to me.
when I first posted this I didnt see the reserve tag and the bidding was at $10k; so my orrigional intent of the post was to point out how little gc8's are going for... but like usual I over looked the little stuff...
I am not the type that expects the previous owner of a car to do every thing I would do to the car/ the way id do it before selling it. For me picking up a car like this for $15k would be a great!!It would be an awsome starting point, definetly solve some of my lack of power issues. I would buy a car like this, sell off the trunk, the moniters, and dash board stuff to fix the other stuff I dont like. Yes there is the potential that he screwed something up but thats true with any used car.
ah well just my .02
