911 Posted 23May, 2021 Report Share Posted 23May, 2021 20 hours ago, JWM said: Yep. Friend of mine was in talks at $165,000 and they didn't come to an agreement. He said the car wasn't concourse. Needed quite a bit of work. Full repaint years ago, which wasn't in the best condition and that the red and blue didn't really go well, but he was still prepared to jump on it for asking, by the time he decided, it was sold though, so I'm assuming it sold for asking. Theres some big money being thrown around on 3.2s at the moment. I know of a white one with high 200kms, that sold off market for $170k, again needing a bit of work.

Really? That's nuts if it still needed work, yet to what kind of standard? If it's concourse he was/is after, then I dare say most cars at that price point or even higher will require some work to bring it up to an acceptable quality.

Coastr Posted 23May, 2021 Report Share Posted 23May, 2021 I remember when you could buy a car like that for 69 and thought it was a lot. Now there’s a 1 in front and they still need work like before. Philbee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time i checked few hours before auction, it was sitting on $50k or something like that But don't stress if you missed out. There is a genuine 917 at RM Sotheby coming up for sale in Aug with an estimated price range between $16m & $18.6m (yes m not a k). So you have time to start saving https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/mo21/monterey/lots/r0008-1970-porsche-917-k/1102159 micknine01 and JV911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny you should say that .. the 936 Junior that sold last week was bought by Porsche Melbourne. It sold for a record high price. I was also hoping that they would buy this one as well ... 1. To keep it in Oz and 2. to have the pigeon pair on display. I don’t know if they bid on it, but I do know it'll be leaving .. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then popped another 20-30k + into it and fettled it with a view of potentially doing more track , doing targa and having a mean street car .. and then no one had the balls to buy it basically .. Its was described as a grunty angry beast that was trying to kill me , when I chased/mixed it in a fast lineup of hot 911s in Melbourne by someone who followed me over reefton spur. Some of the Melbourne crew loved it and have seen it and as a driver it really had near perfect feedback from the steering, almost GT3 like but a G series style ... We left it with a bit of patina .. to give it street tough cred , a few rough edges left on purpose when we painted it , did the top end work and more and various other bits ... This is why I say the its very debatable speccy car, which has , will be discussed on forums .. but as I said not in my experience that people rush to buy, god knows why not , theres enough to say about it and BS in car circles , it has a lot of bragging rights for what it is. Heads will turn when you roll into cars an coffee and people for sure will hear you arrive and depart. I feel you can find reasons why not to buy this car if your porsche paperwork..shuffler , it is an import , non matching etc etc but it has other stuff thats visible when you look at it .. all the tech components are obvious .. God knows what its worth.. We ripped up money thats all I will say .. and the dude evidently is at higher price by a bit and more , than what we let it go for via a broker .. so whats the covid markup god knows..he could get his dollar and god luck It was my lesson, forum keyboard discussions dont translate into buyers .. comments to dollar parted are very very low .. Enjoy.. go drive it and give us your impression ...Its got new tyres , I havent kicked em Your buy Ryan .. go for it .. you can finish it Obrut style , maybe a purple stripe I can't see the link on carsales anymore, but from your description I think I may have been the idiot who bought the car ...lol...least its in Sunny qld Car drives amazing, kudos to all the great work you/ your friend/ DH has done to the car. Im loving it! symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
