I noticed recently in another thread a 996 GT3 in Zanzibar is held in great regard now … but I remeber about 5 years ago one being for sale and everyone lamenting that it was “VT commodore orange” 🤣 You've gotta to see a good one in the flesh to really appreciate what a great colour Zanzibar is...

When I changed my Lambo over from SA to NSW Rego the lady at the counter asked me what "premium" plates I wanted after I'd just given them almost $8,000 to tick a box on a computer. She was horrified when I said "no thanks I've given you enough money today". She gave me the standard black/yellow plates like I was some kind of monster lol.

LeeM Posted 17December, 2023 Report Share Posted 17December, 2023 There aren't many RHD original cars left that haven't had a 6 cylinder dropped in it I imagine, and I'd say at least half of the 13 delivered here would've had the transplant, so they're a rare Porsche in Oz that's for sure. This one I think it's probably worth close to his asking when '65 911's are fetching double or more. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09ELF Posted 17December, 2023 Report Share Posted 17December, 2023 as rare as they are, i personally cant see how it can be worth close to the asking price. But thats just me. rafikdous, Paddy, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious for sure, yet nothing ventured, nothing gained etc. Can't see it selling for the asking price, yet if someone cashed up wants it badly enough, they'll cough up.

JWM Posted 2January Report Share Posted 2January Noticed this surfaced up to the top of my “manual 911s” search on Carsales, must have had a recent edit. I know I’d seen it around for a while, but with that new(ish) pricing change feature, checked and saw that 2024 will mark its 6 (yes SIX) year anniversary of sitting on Carsales!!! Many have come to copy the “price high, sell never” strategy but this guy must have truly been a pioneer … If it gets to 10 years I propose a special levy for PFA memberships that year so we can buy him a trophy …😁 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2009-porsche-911-gt2-997-manual-my09/SSE-AD-4111841 (in case you’re wondering, yes, I’m still on holidays, and bored) SJC, sjm, 911rox and 5 others 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
