Here's the info.
And here's the photo:
I love the inside. I do not feel the same way about the outside.

Haha I think I might be exactly the opposite. At 30k sale price someone lost quite a bit of dough on this I would think.
i'm not that car's mother, so i can not love that car's face.
This car looks like what would happen if the typical PT Cruiser "customizer" was given a Boxster.
The interior reminds me of the original concept car, which is a very good thing. but the exterior is just...weird.
Honestly, can some one buy this and just build another road legal version on the concept car?
We need more of this in the world.
I've always disliked the styling of early Boxters forward of the front axle, but after looking at "the dean", turns out Porsche could've done a lot worse.
For some reason, I was thinking more along the lines of Dean Wormer than James Dean until the fourth or fifth picture when I realized this was in some way supposed to resemble a 550 Spyder. I would pay maybe 50% of what I'd pay for an unmolested Boxter. Since I don't like them, that rounds to about $0.

I was gonna say is looks like Isle 3 at Autozone, so pretty much what you said.
I’m bothered that a coachbuilt car has exhaust tips that appear to not line up with each other.
The front looks suspiciously like it's 2nd cousin. the Karmann Ghia.
I think that's an excellent demonstration of just how hard it is to customize a car and have it look good.
This is a beautiful local ride. Mark Schlocter had a ridiculous amount of time and money in this. My buddy Kevin has it a few months ago as a loaner for the weekend. Love the random use of Mercedes e class headlights.
There are things I don't like about it but I certainly don't dislike it. It's miles better than all of the 57 Belair or Vette kits for the C6 cars.
A little tweaking to my tastes and I'd rock it. The taillight covers would be in the bin before the exhaust stopped pinging while cooling and I'd be shopping for a less garish set of seats right away. I could focus on the little details later
That one's been kicked around on the 986Forum a bit. I like bits of it, but the whole of it is a turn-off.
On the other hand, 914racer's prototype build is awesome inside and out. I don't think he's posted it on GRM, so here's some info:
"my prototype inspired boxster build"
So, erm, what the fiddle is up with those grills on the rear trunk lid? Do those cool your luggage?
I didn't hate it in the first shot. Once I went into the gallery it all went pear shaped... no no no.... Interior is great. But man the front is bad
I think Boxters are okay, but I can't find anything to like here.

that actually makes the awful broken egg porsche headlights look good
Do the oem consoles really look that cheap or was it lifted from a dodge neon? All the leather in the world can't hide that terrible silver plastic...
That's a very punchable face, but put a different front end on it and change a few - ok maybe more than a few - other details and I could live with it.
Someone obviously likes it 29000 times more than I do.
No hate, but it doesn't look like a finished project.
If that had been the Porsche in Cars, Lightening McQueen would've chosen to share a garage with Nater.

Tribute anything at this point is so played out it automatically said to me it is not going to be as good as the original. Tribute can also be an excuse to make a car look like crap. Or it can mean that we ran out of time and money to do a good / complete restomod so instead we call it a tribute.
