Just noticed it's not just a decoration either. All that stuff on the wall is for sale too.

Wow, that's a really sharp eye.

Made me run out and look up in the rafters of the garage to make sure my set is still up there.

Yup. One front fender is in that red primer, the other three are this navy gray.

Even better, did you see in the Nissan factory video that Scott Fisher visited Santa's workshop????

I wonder if he came up with his Xmas list of a few fenders ...

So many threads that begin with Roadster Sighting but the title of this zombie thread is more appropriate.

Rarefied as in 'rare it's running'?

I looked closely at the sellers background selling: 4 911's, a Ferrari and a Bentley for sale.
Bentley has top asking price. The jag seems overpriced for its condition to me.

Oh and I need to get my used early hood ornament out of the closet and up for sale!

Hmmmm.... May have to take a trip to Chapel Hill this weekend. He does seem a little proud of his stuff though.


Edit: Or not. Googled the seller "re Porsche", he is notorious on the Porsche enthusiast sites.

Comes from years of combing through the local scrapyard looking for specific makes/models. It was a disorganized mess until a computer system went in that at least pointed you in the right section, row and number of cars back in the row. Naturally "Past the forest on the left" directions were much more fun.

Anyone else notice the fender on the wall behind the Lancia is still listed on Evilbay. At the SAME PRICE!
