LeeM Posted 9December, 2021 Report Share Posted 9December, 2021 That wing needs to be maybe 100mm or so higher. It will be very interesting to see what it sells for. Keep me posted if anyone finds out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 9December, 2021 Report Share Posted 9December, 2021 Why would you spend all that money and not update the interior? Anyone else getting a flood car vibe from this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 9December, 2021 Report Share Posted 9December, 2021 Why does that Auction house's cars always have confusing paper work , It's a C23 so why would it be complianced in 2007 ? Still a good hotrod at the right price. And yeah , the wing could be higher . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, I'd still have a crack at it if it was under $50k...much closer to $40k. What's not to love about a forward/sideways dated 996 to annoy the purists? 😅 😅 Come on @MFX, you can't hold all of these custom car titles mate 😉 9 hours ago, sleazius said: Why would you spend all that money and not update the interior? Anyone else getting a flood car vibe from this thing? Ran outta cash perhaps? I'd say there's been some decent coin spent on it, but yeah it needs some interior work. I'd just fit some race seats and gut the interior, and customise the rear bumper somehow. Is there any way to find out if a car has flood damage?

flamingporsche Posted 9December, 2021 Report Share Posted 9December, 2021 I’d say second hand frunk lid after a head on. Then just did the guards, headlights etc etc with the insurance $$$? tomo and sjm 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikdous Posted 10December, 2021 Report Share Posted 10December, 2021 You guys crack me up with your over active imagination. Flood damage, front end accident, insurance money? Really? You were able to figure all of that from few pictures on your screen? The story is much more straight forward than that. I saw the car parked on Lygon St few weeks ago and saw the owner getting out of it so we started chatting. The guy who owned it before him bought it off Grays couple of years ago for $48k. He wasn't a fan of the fried egg headlight and was a fan of the GT3 look so he bought the GT3 guards, headlights, rear wing etc and updated it the car. He had it resprayed from silver to the colour it is now. Apparently he spent over $25k on it. He has his fun with it and was thinking of selling it when I was talking to him and was looking for low to mid 60s. Looking at Grays reserve bar, it looks like his reserve is in the low 60s. He told me it didn't need anything done to it except maybe raising the front a little. Apparently too low.

Yeah I know some will absolutely hate it, but I'd be happy to own that! 👍 Honestly, it is one of the best looking 996s I have seen. And I own one!

You've been here long enough to fully appreciate that facts are not worth much in this thread. Speculation and outright fantasy are everything to this mob.

It's been well documented here for the past 3 years or so that I was looking at 996's, then I just made the decision to keep my backdate. I can say here n now, that I'd sell my car today if that 996 was at what I thought was the right price and it was guaranteed I was the buyer. Going by @rafikdous post above, it would be over my price range if I was serious. Yeah it's not for a lot of people which is fair enough, and believe me I've copped lots of flack about backdating my SC, yet beauty is in the eye of the beholder innit? I don't do auctions of any kind, and even though I could raise the money then sell my car afterwards, I wouldn't borrow money for a Porsche which is just an occasional weekend toy for me.
