DS911 Posted 24October, 2014 Report Share Posted 24October, 2014 I looked at this 996 on Monday. It drove fine, although I just pootled around the eastern suburbs in the rain. The car had been traded some time ago, in 'neglected' condition and the $10k 'service/reconditioning' included RMS, IMS, engine mounts, oil separator, clutch and flywheel (!), a major service, and sundry other bits. It's in slightly scruffy condition visually, paint chips, both rear wheels lightly curbed (both?) and it still needs front shocks at ~$2600. So the asking price was not unreasonable; about $4k needs to be spent to make it right. Not concourse, but acceptable. I think it's been for sale for a while, I noted the price drop from $44k to $40k last week. It passed the PPI today with no surprises, and I bought it. The only other car that I looked at that did it for me was $53k and that had (minor) flaws, was a second choice color and $14000 dearer... I could have hung out for the Savannah interior but the black looks longer lasting. Now I'm impatient as hell to get into town and collect it! Congratulations Marvin55. Hope you have a great weekend in the new wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 24October, 2014 Report Share Posted 24October, 2014 (The black 67 Camaro for 37k on Ebay is tempting though!) I liked the value of this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Camaro-Chevrolet-1967-RS-/261617591492?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3ce99fa4c4 With the extra money you could spend on making it as good to drive as an old Porsche..............Oh, that's why we're on PFA isn't it!

LeeM Posted 24October, 2014 Report Share Posted 24October, 2014 Yeah thanks. The missus loves it! The question is, could I live with a purple Camaro? Might have to make a call tomorrow and suss it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 24October, 2014 Report Share Posted 24October, 2014 That was point I was trying to make Taz. Obviously unsuccessfully as I just noticed I left a word out of my sentence! Thanks Although I must admit I do think Tim Allen's COPO Camaro is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way in hell you are going to buy a 67 RS/SS for $18.2k you couldn't buy a rusted out one in the US for that money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 25October, 2014 Report Share Posted 25October, 2014 I reckon in 10 years time we will all regret that we didn't buy a shed full of Targas when we could have.... Here's hoping that doesn't happen sooner or Amanda won't be able to get into one I'm watching closely that is for sure. Already they are far scarcer on the market than they were say 18 months ago. I have a feeling I'll regret that i didn't get this when I could have.... I try not to think about it, but in hindsight at $26k driveaway, Aus delivered, on original plates, local Victorian owned its whole life with extensive history.. it was a good car. As was well documented on PFA, I over thought it. IMG_2129 by mmanda withers, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
