LeeM Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 That is bloody stunning in my eyes @James P James P and Bluegus73 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 Love it! Although seeing as it's a 98 it's a shame they didn't keep the original front end. No engjne hot ups needed I reckon, X51 would be nice but really you only need an exhaust and intake on a stock 3.4 to make it sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 I dropped into David's last week, agree, stunning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always worry when I see something like this that it’s the result of repairing something less than ideal as a starting point. In the cold light of morning...I like it even more ?

MARTY Posted 6May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 I think the blue one looks great I would of thought it to be rare in that colour if thats how it left the factory, looks like a fair bit of $$ have been spent on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOKA Posted 6May, 2018 Report Share Posted 6May, 2018 Its a great car - saw it in Melbourne a couple of months ago, love the colour, love the interior - its all very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the banner ad at the top of the page. I've never seen a 996 in that blue. It was probably inspired by the 997 GT3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivers front guard has seen better days but at least it doesn't come with it's original crappy 3.4L donk!

This example and it's super fast sale is quite eye opening to be honest. Granted it was a great looking car and very well executed by all accounts, but it was hardly fodder for the purist. It was a retro theme with non standard colour, wheels, trim and update front end. Essentially a '98 C2 Coupe with stock 3.4 and 207000 kms. Am I missing something here with the asking being mid 60's and the car being snapped up in record time? All the best to the seller/buyer... if they're happy then that's all that counts I suppose.
