...looks like a car originally optioned by a 75yo man and then modified by his 16yo grandson who inherited it after he croaked.

From the listing: Kudos to a 76 yr old having the passion to drive a turbo but sorry Fred no artistic talent was used here when you modded this once stunning Turbo! The good news is that a new front lip, side skirts, turbo intake cover, wing, and wheels are all you need to make this an awesome Turbo again.
He is 76 years young and put much of his passion and artistic talent into this car. Fred is a graphic designer and artist and with meticulous attention to every detail he used this Porsche as his canvas. He had Porsche apply the beautiful Metallic Silverlake paint that is a factory Bentley color. Fred had our Brighton Ranch shop apply the El Turbo Green color to some of the trim which offers the visual dynamics that are on par with the mechanical aspect of the car.

This car is out here in Scottsdale, AZ..I have seen it multiple times in person at the local cars and coffee meets. The guy is definately old and definately a character. Cant say I was ever a fan of it either, poor Porsche, he's been trying to sell it forever too, wonder why it wont sell....

Hey, in all fairness DJ, it didn't say anything about being a successful artist/graphic designer.
Loving the interior though.

It does look like the psychedelic lime green parts can easily be 'fixed'. The base color isn't too bad, almost like Ipanema Blue. From the lone interior shot, that part looks good. But the entire exterior look is an absolute FAIL.

He's a friend of the guys at EVOMS, and fitted with their 580 tune. Color scheme is certainly not to everyone's taste, but I respect the guy for modding it to his liking.
