These very early impacts on cookies look so sweet to me especially in a 70's colour. He's extremely ambitious in his pricing. The one (same?) at the Healey factory looked really nice in the flesh - should be around 70k with a sporto imo .... early sportos were almost the most unloved 911 ever .... not now hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YellowDieselGolf Posted 10November, 2018 Report Share Posted 10November, 2018 Did anyone here pick up the 73 metallic gold 911E? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-1973/SSE-AD-5461074/ It was originally listed at $120k, then "Price Drop , accepting offers over $ 85k ,dropping price to sell as moving overseas soon so must go " ?I'm glad I didn't notice the price drop or I would have had a mini crisis.

I used to get "price drop" emails from carsales, but I haven't had one in ages. The photos look like it was in great condition. The colour wouldn't be my first pick, but I still think it looks fantastic. You're right though - This would have been listed at $140-150k a year or two ago.

LeeM Posted 11November, 2018 Report Share Posted 11November, 2018 Any way you look at it that's bloody cheap for a Porsche, especially for a unique car. Type 4 engine would be a much better proposition than an earlier 1600 as they push Kombi's along just fine, so in a small car it would hoot along nicely I imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 12November, 2018 Report Share Posted 12November, 2018 I looked into a modded Type 4 engine for my 66 after I got some full rebuild quotes (a.k.a WTF?) for the stock donk. They're nearly as much as a Porsche engine! Plus all the rooting around with fitting it etc. Pass! This car above is a bargain in my opinion. Drive it and see good the bigger engine would be. I reckon it would surprise a few old 2.0/2.2/2.4 911's in the right hands JulianG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
