Sure you can make an engine look like something it isn't (sort of like putting lipstick on a pig), but that's not going to change the value. A clone is a clone and should not add significant value to the overall price of the sale. That engine is worth the some of it's parts at best.

Maybe the 1T new green deal will solve these problems.

1T? Try the next one @ 3.5 Trillion!

Yeah, they quite happily say 1T is a down payment.

15% has long been the standard deduct for NOM. Same add for a car with it's OM. There are probably exceptions to that rule for certain makes and models.

I'm afraid I couldn't do any better. It was very hard to get pics in that lighting. And if I added light, it was too shiny and you couldn't see the detail.

James, if I'd seen your question about the trunk lid before I went to the auction, I'd have checked it.

Comparing that pic to others, I would say they were not all off the shelf items.

Impressive, but I have zero interest in cars like this.

Hard to tell from the pics. I'll try to look at it tomorrow.

EI is lower maintenance and more reliable at high performance. There are a lot of preferences on EI brands. I've tried others, but Pertronix has always performed the best for me. Really nothing wrong with running points though, especially if you want to keep it stock.

I've seen that before and actually like it. But I like the Panamera too despite the four doors.

Welcome,

Great looking car! Does it have TA race history as the graphics suggest? As for the roll cages, I'm not sure that complete cages were available as after market. That was usually a custom built thing. But parts for them were definitely available.

No problem with the side glass on the set that I bought.
