This was sold around 6 months ago with an ask of $125k. Now asking $195k! From memory it’s a converted targa. It’s amazing the difference a side script makes! https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1982-porsche-911-sc-manual/SSE-AD-11958855

Seems a nice car with lots spent. 
However. I don’t understand why put in back seats if fronts are fixed buckets.

good to see lots of money spent but has heat and AC.

 Well for a start, those photos are from Richmonds showroom here in Adelaide, so unless it's just a case of the 'seller' in Queensland can't be bothered posting their own pics, I'd say it's possibly a scam.

 If it's not, then that car is worth the money, as I looked at it a year or so ago for someone. Not perfect, yet it's a decent entry into longhood ownership

Not even close mate - its in New Zealand, not here. No duty is payable (because over 30 years old) however

Its subject to:

Shipping costs + LCT + GST  = circa $380K in extra fees alone.

so lets call it $1.3Million

Cheapest way to a Porsche "Turbo" badge? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/adelaide-cbd/cars-vans-utes/1980-porsche-924-turbo/1285014179 Not sure how hard it would be to register in SA since its a LHD conversion.

 You'd want a bloody good engineer to sign off the conversion, make sure the car is presented very well, then expect a very thorough inspection by Regency Park inspectors.

100%, it would be a big headache, may be worth it to someone though/ or at a sub 10k price?

Something not right about that car other than it's an import. I'm not entirely sure it's even an original Turbo. A 1980 Turbo had the same colour fuel cap cover. 

Having said that if it's one of the first Turbos released in 1979 which DID have the exposed cap then it could be a rare one. Would be worth looking at the VIN to confirm.

FYI there were only 50, 924 Turbos allocated to the USA in 1979 ( only 932 made in 1979 worldwide ) compared to 3440 in 1980.

Apparently in 2009 it was reported there were only 10 RHD 1979 Turbos in the world remaining. Assuming there were equal amounts of RHD and LHD made it would makes sense that there would only be a few LHD ones left as well. 

Apparently the 1979 Turbo came to USA in late 1979 and badged as a 1980 model. This car if original could be one of those rare ones. Pity it has been converted.

I would seriously be checking the VIN number out guys.
