I’d guess the 3.4 blew up at some point and he had it rebuilt into a 3.8 A lot of money for a mongrel, IMO… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on Grays before Christmas and was referred at $58k if I recall correctly. Reserve looked like low $60s. hmmmm, $100k?? Looks like a waste of time bidder and there is a lot of them on Grays, Grays do not have any way to make the bidders accountable. I tried to sell my '73 T with them few years back and it was a painful experience. Had 2 non-paying bidders who wasted months for me and Grays did nothing to penalise them. tomo and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 18January, 2022 Report Share Posted 18January, 2022 Haha. Why would anyone question $100k for that. It is obviously a 991GT3RS isn't it? That is a bone stock 3.4 auto by the way. 100% not a 3.8. Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 23January, 2022 Report Share Posted 23January, 2022 Anyone seen any C4S coupe manuals pop up lately? Friend of a friend is chasing (probably tyre kicking I dunno)... I've suggested prices may be north of $115k now (based on my insurer not batting an eyelid when I asked for $110k coverage this year). But haven't seen any moving in the public space for months now.

But haven't seen any moving in the public space for months now. You'd be right John .. Hasn't been one traded publicly for quite a few months now. The last one I know of was probably 2 or 3 months. And yep .. would concur with $115k + Fishcop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - it's not chump change we're talking about though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
