Mttel Posted 22February, 2019 Report Share Posted 22February, 2019 So went to Graysonline in Adelaide (Parafield) today to pick up some wine I won, which I'm sampling as I write. Was waiting for the warehouse guy to come back and decided to wander down to the cars. Spotted this little baby in the mix. No idea what model but it has had some serious custom work done. Anyway its not listed on any of the current auctions so assume its a newish arrival and will be listed on the near future. Warehouse guy wasn't much help as he only started 4 days ago. Sorry about the crappy photos, only had a couple of minutes and back lighting was a pain. Update - so after doing a bit of searching possibly might be a "beach boys racing" Monterey 914 speedster kit/conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDean Posted 22February, 2019 Report Share Posted 22February, 2019 Looks alot like one of the 914's that was advertised some time last year. Price was pretty high from memory, 70k. It's probably somewhere in one of the forum threads🤔 Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He may be losing interest in his twilight years too!) Then we will see lots of real classics sold off overseas. I dont think Fox displayed other peoples cars as much as Gosford & he didnt have all the unusual stuff from JustCars as Symsy pointed out. Mate bought a Pontiac Fiero from Gosford. It was a very ordinary example which was indicative of their stock. He fixed it & sold it. Nah I reckon Fox will just throw his external accountants under one of his b doubles and go for their PI if he lost the musuem status or just tweak the setup to keep on that grey line if new tax law is enacted. I reckon Fox has been walking that grey line exactly as prescribed by his superior tax advice. Case in point. It appears bunnings had 40 employees on the books (paid?). Fox appears to have circa at least 40 on the books as well but they appear to be mostly volunteers. Which smells more like a musuem based on a pub sniff test out of the two. Eg contingent of grey volunteers and private collection vs contingent of paid employees and turning over musuem floor stock more than what one would expect which is virtually moonlighting as being available for sale with transaction abound fEg Symsy reckons bunnings musuem was a car parking holding lot waiting for sales whereas I reckon Fox's is predominately his private collection on display and that display smells of a musuem based on a skim of the definition of a musuem under tax legislation and his playing the grey very nicely. Perhaps bunnings could of been on the grey line initially, got greedy and the grey line ran out of road and they ended up in one way black tunnel lost reverse gear, did a head gasket and grenaded the engine. I doubt labour will make changes to musuem tax rules retrospectively. Perhaps going forward if the laws change, Fox will just get a bit less of a tax deduction after his grey line is adjusted somewhat based on his superior tax advice and discipline to ensure strict compliance with it. micknine01 and Neun 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 22February, 2019 Report Share Posted 22February, 2019 Confession time..... I’m generally not a fan of the 914, but I actually don’t mind that! Could only pay about half of the asking price though, at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 23February, 2019 Report Share Posted 23February, 2019 always hard to say if they are going for that but it seems to be the average asking price at the moment ,,,,some with very high miles some with average miles ,,,I suspect all depends on what the buy will part with for a clean example ...??

At $158 they will I reckon. Its priced a little more sensibly now. Saying that, Richmonds do have a pretty high sales turnover of quality cars. Some in there on consignment are priced as the client wants them to be, so the sales team have their hands tied with asking prices Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G50 Carrera nicest of the G series for an everyday driver, if that's even a thing anymore. GTP911 and Peter M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnage Posted 23February, 2019 Report Share Posted 23February, 2019 17 hours ago, Peter M said: Are any of them actually selling at these prices or are they just sitting around? Sitting is my guess. it was only a few years ago that collectively we were shocked at a 3.2 in WA was listed at $100k. So what has happened since then for a cars value to rise over 50% ? Nothing, it's bizarre. The market is way slower than back then, current availability proves that, there hasn't been a culling of these cars making them rare. Porsche made many thousands of these cars they are in no way special, historic or significant, just a Porsche mass production car. For me it makes no sence at all that advertised &/or selling prices are going up & not down. Peter M, OBRUT and LeeM 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
