Nikos Posted 14October, 2020 Report Share Posted 14October, 2020 I've seen that listed before. Maybe mid last year when I was looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed this the other day and it's allready under offer. Curious what they were asking for it as it was advertised POA. Actually think the colour looks great. Pity its a Sporto though. https://classicthrottleshop.com/1975-porsche-911-2-7-platinum/ Sportoa sport are sublime, to be savoured and once driven ,, you’ll be batting for the other side . I get it, if you had a one and only choice for most it would be manual. The best combination would be early Sporto Box with later year final drive.. I’ve always been surprised at the number of C3’s delivered with a Sporto box. Anyone know if a 2.7 RS ever had a sport a Matic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even average 4 doors here in Australia are now $20K+! I have just last week again tried to contact the person I sold my 1970 Datsun 1600 to. Checking to see if it still actually exists and if he would be willing to sell. Unfortunately again no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking to see if it still actually exists and if he would be willing to sell. Unfortunately again no reply. It's staggering to see what the 70's Japanese icons are going for now. When I was casting around for ideas on a fun spare car and preferably one which could go on classic rego so the running costs were low, I had a brief flash of nostalgia for my first car which was an RX4 coupe. A bit crude and rude but a lot of fun, brilliant I thought... just go to carsales and have a look. Waaaaaaa! Only one or two on there and both $50k+. So I got the 911 because it was cheaper! For fun I checked again just now and there's only one RX4 for sale nationwide... a sedan for $85k (admittedly a nice restomod type of deal).https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1973-mazda-rx-4-la22s-manual/SSE-AD-6390320/?Cr=0 I've no idea if they actually change hands at those sort of prices, but it's the old story of supply and demand. Most of those things were crashed, bashed, poorly modified, and left to rust away when they were worthless 15-20 years ago. The few that escaped mostly seem to have been ruined as drag cars. Mine was really nice and had a fresh bridgeport etc and I was very happy (lucky even) to sell it for $7k in about '92. Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 15October, 2020 Report Share Posted 15October, 2020 I'll have to add my story then ... Traded my Dark Blue 13B 1974 RX4 Coupe in for a 1977 Toyota Corolla Wagon ... would have been late 80's. The Corolla did have mags though .. 😅 Don't remember if I paid them some + or got a bit more that their ask but whatever way it went I lost!! ... 😭😭 One of the scariest cars I've ever driven .. unbelievable power and 1970's suspension .. 😬 Tips, st3ve, Dalai and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
