I really want to meet the potential buyer who is dumb enough to believe that...

I wonder if he's related to the guy around here who keeps putting up a Laser 917 kit car as if it were a street-converted Porsche 917 (and pricing it at, IIRC, a cool million)
Mercedes may be on to something with that 4 foot shfter with rattle snake head shift knob...
You mean it wasn't a DP car? 
Didn't I see that car at Daytona in 2001 or so?
GRM totally needs to buy this and make it into a competitive autocrosser. I want to see it at Nationals.
Good to know that spares are available at any truck stop.
I am pleased to learn that he will only sell it to someone local.

Yes... consider yourself lucky... they cannot be unseen...
What have I just seen?
Good thing Mercedes decided to use pedals from Autozone on their prototype, that way if you break them from hard driving you can get cheap replacements.
Mercedes uses racing seats from JC Whitney?

Good call using all those other manufacturer's parts Mercedes. I'm sure that upped the on track reliability.

Shhh....
It's top secret.
A DP car you say...
I was expecting some sort of german movie.
The windshield appears to be made of wax paper.
Looks like he's got a super rare all original Countach back there as well.
I don't even know what to say!?!?
Wait, I do know what to say, someone needs to take that and make it a truly competitive racer! Don't change the looks one bit!
"Porsche chassis, Chevy 350 motor, Ford wiring."
Now THAT's what I call a recipe for success
