Is $AUD85k for the body only plus $AUD30k for a few parts reasonable for this?

The included parts list is pretty meagre:

Porsche VDM Original Steering wheel
Porsche Original Horn push
Pre A Original Front Bumpers
Porsche Brake Drum Shoes
Porsche 55 window winder mechanism
Porsche steering box 55
Pre A Porsche dash
Pre A Seats Front
Pre A window Washer
Heater Control 55 Porsche
Pre A interior lamp
Fuel pre A Dash
Fuel Gauge Pre A Dash
55 Head Rests Black
Bosch 55 headlights
Drum to Drum plus transmission - 55

Then the buyer would need to source an engine and replacement panels if the images are anything to go by.
Not looking to buy, but genuinely interested in everyone's thoughts, as it's very hard to judge prices here; the pool is extremely limited, and even "beaters" are much higher than the US.

It’s got a beautiful steering wheel, headlights, and CV joints. It’s missing a ton of parts. I believe there is a home made fairly blank steel dash and a very unfinished fiberglass cast of a correct dash. Surely shipping over a rough car would be a much better idea. Or a good car.

Looks like a '57 or later A rear clip with teardrops and a shine-up license light.
But don't fret 'cause I've got just what you need from an early '55 coupe.

Martin; CV joints??

[Martin Benade]

I didn’t say they were needed, just that it comes with a full set.

Hello Spencer,
you can even see the cutout for the exhaust of a T2. let's say this is a Frankenstein car ...

Looks slightly more than a 53 Model than a 55

[Jules Dielen]

nose is definitely earlier than 55. WHat is up with those drive shafts? 911??
