Instead of 'ruining' an existing 911 - you customise this to make it streetable, its actually got a lot of RWB-like stuff anyway. Its already got a 3.6 motor & what are they worth these days? $30K ++ ?? I think a 3.6 in decent cond is probably worth 20k - 25k. 12 hours ago, Mick said: Am I crazy or is this real cheap??

It looks like good value to me as a recreational/fun track car. Would you care to pm me any other details you might know James? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any details or know the seller.. but have seen the car around, if you want an air-cooled track car it would be hard to fine better value if it checks out all ok mechanically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGA Posted 17September, 2018 Report Share Posted 17September, 2018 As my return to OZ from Europe inches closer I am selling my 997.2 GT3 RS LHD in Europe and wanting to pick up an Aussie replacement. I have noticed this car at Classic Throttle Shop and was wondering if anybody on this forum new anything about this car. https://classicthrottleshop.com/2010-porsche-gt3-rs-gen-2-dark-grey/?currency=AUD It reads well with only 5,000kms but there is one small thing that bothers me greatly. I notice in the photos that there is an engine kill switch on the centre console just ahead of the gear lever. I am scratching my head as to why the previous owner would install such a thing and can only conclude that the car was potentially raced in a competition that required a kill switch inside the car rather than the standard kill switch under the bonnet? Do you guys know of the car and if there is a competition in OZ that car could have completed in that would have required a kill switch inside the car?

Not sure about the kill switch but its now noted as under offer which at CTS usually means its sold. There are a couple more that have been for sale a while like the one at PCSS. The price is already pretty good at $400k driveaway but I think there's a deal to be done there, likewise the one in QLD with PCCB's. Good luck in your search!

symsy Posted 17September, 2018 Report Share Posted 17September, 2018 There are a few around , I have been watching the space , was on my wish list but will probably just stick with my other car now..as the whole GT3 maret in my view has been at a stand still They have been dropping 450's >420's and some trade off carsales ..350-375.. especially in the flurry of change overs with 991.2 deliveries.. Not many have shifted I would sense you could negotiate hard and that there will be a few that pop back in the market in spring.. not many 300+ buyers out there .. your cash will be king !!! Paying the local premium would hurt.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR901 Posted 20September, 2018 Report Share Posted 20September, 2018 I’ve sold a couple of race cars & find that you get (1) lots of interest from people who think it’s easy to convert back into a road car & (2) lots of people who think they want a race until they drive one &/or realise they need a trailer & something to pull it with. So while you get lots of calls in the first weeks the number of real buyers is very small & the race enthusiasts left are very aware of how competitive a car will be within the regulations they want to compete in. So your pool of buyers quickly turns from a torrent to a trickle to a rain drop. Race cars cost lots of money to build but are not easy to sell....I wish him luck !!

Not overly disappointed that its sold. I had been looking at this car for around 6+months. I even looked at it personally when I was in Sydney a few months back. The car presented well but I could not straight answers from CTS. When I asked them about the kill switch, they just said, "I can’t clarify this for you any further, I can only offer you the car as it stands". So they either genuinely didn't know (which is a reflection of how thorough they are about a cars history), or they didn't want to tell me for some reason. I am not sure that they understood that all I was after was some transparency. When I bought my European based 997.2 GT3 RS, it was a car that had done in excess of 5,000kms on track but it didn't bother me because the owner was honest about its history. What tracks he had been on, how many times, etc. And the over revs report was excellent. So I bought the car because I was comfortable with what I was buying. In this case, I just never felt comfortable with the info I was getting about the car. So if it is sold, c'est la vie. itsujack, Gavn and hugh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'As it stands' was the quote at the time & it was in the 130 -150 asking. I wondered what response they expected when they couldn't say a single thing about the car, engine, paint etc. I'd have expected better but it's obviously not an isolated case. itsujack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
