What really caught my eye was: "Takes corners at an incredible 1.9 G's."

I'm calling bovine excrement on that claim.
I can't get past the BMW kidney grilles. BARF! It 's just not right on a 356. Ugly frenched driving lights. It looks like a really tacky car overall. Boy racer retro crap.
Quite a bit of product puffing. Some here may take offense to "Not a poorly constructed, cheap VW 65MPH re-bodied kitcar..." I do like the "DOT4 brake fluid is cooled." --- probably by the outside air as I've never seen brake line radiators. At first, I thought he had plumbed in the horn vents to the front brakes. Even Karman Ghia grills would blend better than the BMW ones. It has been on the market for some time - think it was $39k on SAMBA.
The claim of pulling 1.9G’s on a skid pad is possible if this Build has incorporated something like Cool Ryde’s Mendeaola suspension within; thus their T1 front double wishbone tunable suspension system combined with Mendeaola True Track tunable IRS system.
That car has been for sale for literally years.......or else multiple times
It is great that it is the only one of it's kind.
Rarity does not always equate to great desirability or value.
4 seconds to 60 mph is possible. 1.9G cornering? That just ain't so.
Awwwwg. I feel ill.
Ours is not to do or die, but certainly to wonder why...
I agree with Lane, it sounds like El Toro PooPoo.
Limiting his ad to just one photo is a good idea. :-)
It's just plain ugly (IMHO). I have seen it on and off on ebay for awhile now.
And every time, I have this sad feeling for the poor f-ed up car.
Now with this fresh "data", well ... the whole thing speaks for itself

My bad pulling 1.04Gs would be possible
The last photo on the CL ad looks strikingly similar to the one discussed previously; the one with the “fake” brick background, black wheels, and poor job of “cut and paste” near the windscreen.
Im not 100%, but it feels like that scammer ad...
Seems like there are a whole lot of scams.

That's what I noticed- his photo shop skills are getting better...
Agreed! The photo-shop skills are improving. Who ever posted it must have read comments from the last post!
I’m looking forward to the next one...

I think you're right, Al. Here's his latest Craigslist ad:

Did you guys not look at the last photo on the CL ad? Same car, same dude, different wall background.
