Gee, the guy went to all that trouble & it looks just like my wide body kit w/ the whale tale from Wings West.
This is what I think of when I hear "prototype". Some shots I took at Roebling:

"oversized turbo" what good will that do. and if it does have a turbo, you'd think that he would upgrade from that puny exhaust.

if it ends up to be priced around a 1k or so, who cares about the title the seller is using. it looks legit to me.

The interior wear doesnt correspond with the milage.Did you see the top of the drivers door panel?Looked like it had 100K on it.
Id like to see a close up of the pedal pads.Thats the key to cars real age,and most people forget to change them.

ook at the fromt though it has a little lip on the front of the body kit.Almost DTM style.. I've never seen one like that before. I like it and its only 365 right now. I'd pay 500 for it if it had no ngine in it and just put mine in. Exterior is in really good shape... Maybe the guy got lied to when he bought it and thinks it really is a "prototype". Not everyone is a scam artist. You have to remember a person is smart people are ******* DUMB!

Thats a good point I agree unless the car was sitting in a bush, and that just doesnt make sense... The Odometers been tripped back for sure if you compare it with the interior condition

Yeah but who cares, It's a rotary, miliage is inconsiquential, Give it a good couple weeks of hauling *** and it'll blow up regardless of the miliage right?

alright looking car, interior sucks, definity not a "prototype". Lets all go drive our custom, no wait, "prototype" cars around and say "We're Cool, we're cool". Odometer smometer, 25k, race that baby another 10k and I bet that baby will pop like a zit.

Even if it does look nice i wouldnt trust someone who calls the body all custom when its easy to tell its just a kit molded. i like the kit and the tires and i would definetly buy the car for what its at now and scrap whatever bs engine he has in there and put mine in it. That first gen looks alot better than mine and is around the same price.

Of course it does that's why there is a reserve. Anyways, I asked the seller if he/she could link me to some pics or email them so we'll see.
