Skidmarks Posted 15January, 2021 Report Share Posted 15January, 2021 23 hours ago, njb said: Hi all, Can I please get an opinion on values for this: https://duttongarage.com/Porsche-Carrera~27817 HK import, non-matching numbers (restamped case), non-original paint, non-original interior, vinyl wrapped dash, no service books, no invoices/records/history, and a grinding 1st to 2nd shift. Apart from all that, very fun car to drive. In its current state, it’s a $250,000 - $270,000 car. If you’re looking for a more “original” example (local or OS LHD), be ready for $350,000 +. 9er 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guy posts his Gt3 replica for sale, and then some other guy claiming it was 'pretty much stolen' from him, without explanation. Looks to be the car reviewed by Clay Wong on YouTube recently. I was looking at straight swapping my 240z for this 12 months or so ago. I had a PPI done and it was totally thrashed, mechanically and cosmetically. It does not surprise me one bit that it blew up. The PPI also noted that the gearbox was making some very nasty noises. As you can guess, I walked away and all this makes me even more glad that I did.

It wasn't this car (996) that blew its motor .. it was the car that he swapped it for.. the R32 GTR blew it's load and the guy wanted the previous owner of it (the current owner of the 996) to pay for it .. Took me a minute to work it all out too .. sounds like a bloody circus .. 😅 Fishcop and MFX 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 Did this really sell for $230K? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1985-porsche-911-carrera-manual/SSE-AD-6968005/?Cr=0 This is a new one to market...but I think I've seen this listed once before some time ago. May be having another go in the current climate? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1984-porsche-911-carrera-manual/SSE-AD-7011681/?Cr=1 And finally this looks very clean for an import.

Stephen Tinker Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 I still cannot get my head around the fact that quite a few of these early air cooled cars with high mileages and unknown histories are in the (up to 3 months ago) 996 GT3 and GT4 prices. I know the A/C cars are looked upon as different, but sorry, the values do not compute. Porsche GT cars are - and always will be - in a different league compared to the normal Carrera models so either these air cooled variants are overpriced or the GT3 / GT4 cars are underpriced.
