It also mentions it is a 1980, so it is also a chopped down Targa... That was my first thought too - it was already a franken-car before the "upgrades" 🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone got the build sheet around the wrong way when asking for an early car with late model running gear? Were the worlds in question Venus and Jupiter? Elon should have put this on top of the rocket instead of the Tesla roadster. Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rminc Posted 10October, 2022 Report Share Posted 10October, 2022 38 minutes ago, sleazius said: Definitely. "Lets see what sticks" pricing. What is it actually worth? You'll pay maybe $125k for an average Aussie SC? From the photos this looks like a proper resto (may not be, just looks very sorted). Factor in all the metal work on a 40 year old 200 odd km 911, paint, OEM replacement parts, suspension, brakes, interior, engine, transmission etc. I doubt you'd have much change from $200k if you did everything properly.

There is often little correlation between the amount someone spends on a resto, and the value of the finished product. I could spend $150k on a 944 resto - is it now worth $180k?

A common scenario; Dad's 1920s or 1930s project that after his death the son wants to finish off. Son ends up having to sell it when finished due to the expense, gets 10 cents on the dollar.

hugh Posted 10October, 2022 Report Share Posted 10October, 2022 Ironically, it would be worth a considerable amount if it was original and in that condition. I guess if someone wants a freshly restored, red SC that’s the asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_booost Posted 12October, 2022 Report Share Posted 12October, 2022 ^^^^ This car is proper fast. Used to run against it back in the day - but it's been developed to another level. Open chequebook things. Would be a blast (or frightening) to drive and would embarrass a lot of newer cars.....
