Whats for sale (in Australia ) and interesting Thread
LeeM replied to wasserkuhl's topic in General Marketplace and Values Discussion
It is a very nice car, and also a member of PFA. I've seen it up close a while ago (and a quick ogle yesterday as a matter of fact) Dare say you'd be hard pressed to find a better car for the price. Happy to take a closer look on your behalf -

Whats for sale (in Australia ) and interesting Thread

As per my rant elsewhere on this thread, a lot of potential 911 buyers want every box ticked when it comes to originality etc. If you just want/need a 911 in your life and can't justify/afford the prices being asked for good 911's, you have to forego certain aspects of a car that makes it special. Personally, I own a 78 SC that I can drive anywhere rain or shine, which is exactly what I wanted, scratches and all, yet it doesn't owe me a lot either (and I can't afford a real nice one anyway). A friend bought a similar forward dated 72 and turned it back into a longhood hotrod the same way I've done mine which didnt cost a lot if you're not fussy (I backdated mine for under $2000 doing the work myself, yet it's still a work in progress) yet be under no illusion that if you wanted to sell it later on as it is, it's probably not going to go up in price I'd say go have a look at it -

With the big rear overriders I'd say it's a US import/conversion. If the engine is ok, its a cheap entry into ownership with the future possibility of converting it back to a longhood (save ya pennies for that!), or just drive the thing and enjoy it -

From driving 2 3.0 litre cars back to back with mine having SSi's and a modified stock muffler, I'd agree with what people say in that they add some bottom end torque. As for the difference in sound I can't comment, as to me all the noise would mostly come from the muffler

Love quads. This was me in 97 when I worked at Mitsubishi as an urgent parts runner in manufacturing material handling. No idea how many times I got busted doing this. I got it into 3rd before I always ran out of room 😁 Great Polaroid!

In these days of $100k plus cars when some are basically shit, HOW is it over priced? It's basically 70 grand for a RHD Oz delivered 911. What more do people want? I get it, people like LHD cars, they're the same car, they came from the same factory, they drive the same etc, fair enough, yet for those who don't want LHD, this car in question has to be the bargain of the last 2 or so years with the ridiculous prices 911's are now. Why it is still on the market is pretty obvious that most buyers want matching numbers, it has a scratch on the paint, the drivers carpet is incorrect blah blah, yet if you just want a rhd 911 to drive, ya mad if you don't at least look at it! Then again, some will probably pick it to death, whinge to the seller it's not matching numbers and waste the sellers time. Sorry, it's not an attack on you personally, It's just that I wish people would stop whinging about not being able to find a car which is 35 or 40 years old, and expect it to be in the same condition as a 997 with no issues whatsoever! Ofcourse it will have issues, and you'd be an idiot to think otherwise, so maybe those that have OCD shouldn't look at buying an old car, coz you'll never be happy -

Seeing as the seller dropped the price by 10 grand, you'd have to think he's a motivated seller, so someone who is looking for a 911 should call them and see what the go is. If you bought it for 70k yet your budget was up to 100k, any problems (except a catastrophic engine failure) would still be within your budget, and you'll have the confidence it's a decent car. Mate, I offered a grand above asking price for an MGB GT tarmac rally car coupla years ago that was in Queensland. Price accepted, bank details sent etc, beauty! Then got a call a bit later asking where in Oz I was. Adelaide mate. His actual words to me were 'Nah f..k off mate. I'm not dealing with anyone from interstate. Been conned too many times, so I don't want your money'. 😠😠 I wanted to fly up just to punch him in the gob! -
$1.44 here in Adelaide 😂🖕

Where else is there a half decent Oz delivered 911 for under 80k? That's non matching numbers converted money! People need to get their head out of their .... with the matching numbers thing, and just buy these cars to DRIVE IT! Unlike half the owners who just leave it in the shed on a trickle charge, and brag how much the thing is worth to whoever will listen.
