I would question the "original paint" claim if the side markers have been filled in? I think the "$30,000.00" to fix is possibly light. I think it will take every bit of that;
15K for a corner
10K to fit
8-12K to paint the car
2-5K misc.
If you can do the work and don't count the sweat equity as a cost, this could be a decent buy......
Could it have had the 'marker delete' option, or indeed were they even included that early? Are the bumpers even telescopic?
I wonder if there is any chassis damage, as it appears to have a crease under the passenger door at the front:
and the back of the door has chipped the paint on the body...it`s possibly now stood on the spare wheel, but the angle
still looks wrong. Track rod is well bent!
It
does still seem like a reasonable prospect to repair at the current price ($15k) or even
twice that, but reserve not met yet... how much will it take to
actually win it?
We shall see.

I don`t think so, it`s just missing the rubbers on brake & clutch, with only paint worn away on the clutch, the throttle rubber looks pretty fresh:
I wonder if this is one of the "Car Club of Dallas" 'Rent-a-supercar' vehicles mentioned
HERE, that would have been an awkward customer/vendor conversation!!!
