turboT Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 (edited) My impression of the yellow peril from the wording in the ad is it's actually a 1976 911S with a 930 Turbo engine fitted. Did you think it was worth returning to orig thinking it was a 930 or a 911S?To be honest the car has been chopped up so much it's hard to tell what is original (and i haven't checked Vins) But I had assumed it was originally a 76 930 because of the mention of the 3.0l engine. I thought 911S's had a 2.7 but might be wrong. But with non matching engine, G-box, body etc etc, this car is what it is - a big yellow hot rod with a bit too much wanna be RWB for me Edited 10August, 2015 by turboT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 Anyone seen any 76-77 C3's for sale of late? Apart from the Talbot Yellow one for 135k already posted the only other one that popped up lately was wasserkuhl silver one which I believe wasserkuhl is hanging onto for the moment but you never know.Are you on the hunt for another or considering selling yours?

The__J__Factor Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 Not a whole lot of information in this advert. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/revesby/cars-vans-utes/1978-porsche-930-turbo-carrera/1086355681That looked good from the pics, but ad says it's sold already.

I'm a little unsure as to why the seller of the RS is understating the delivery numbers though! 17 for Australia and 682 is the total production number.4 cars produced in 2003.678 Cars produced in 2004. Will watch that with interest.... Edited 11August, 2015 by edgy Updated with numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 11August, 2015 Report Share Posted 11August, 2015 From memory the last one that sold here was closer to 200k maybe a year ago? 325k seems to be quite a price tag - would you regard it to be twice as good as a stock 996 GT3?

Objectively no, subjectively.... well It's an RS at the end of the day, so who knows? Whether it sells for near asking or not now, only time will tell... but they'll continue to increase and that will only push non RS up with it.

Just wondering how far down the slope to go with the planned restoration!I want to have fun with the car as in reduce the weight a little and some minor hot rodding but retain the original parts for an easy return to factory original.No plans to sell so I figured we could rod it a little then if have to sell at some point it would just be a matter of bolting on the original gear.Thoughts are:Carrera 3.0 RS bumpersMinilite wheelsChrome flag mirrorscarbon fibre (unpainted) deck lid & bonnetCIBIE bonnet spottiesRecaro seatsAll original interiorCar re-painted factory Platinumand that's about itOh, and engine & suspension upgrades.

Roy Posted 11August, 2015 Report Share Posted 11August, 2015 It's 6.13 times as rare.Agree. There were 164, 996 GT3's officially delivered to Australia. It's claimed that 10, GT3 RS were delivered here. Aside from the difference in spec, that GT3 RS is a very rare car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the difference in spec, that GT3 RS is a very rare car.Not correct, there was total 181 delivered here of that: 90 Mk1's & 91 Mk2's 17 of the Mk2 cars were RS. (so your 164 is plus RS)But you're very right in that its a very very rare car... I think the more interesting numbers will be how many of these GT3's are left, many are written off and lots going to UK lately. 6 GT2's... forget it, almost in the same league as RS if not more scarce.

A couple of workshops have suggested up to half have been written off so perhaps 15 - 20 remaining. Not quite as rare as 996 GT3 RS but not far off. RS is obviously an RS though.I had a half hearted attempt to track down the GT2s in Aus in a separate thread but without VIN etc, you can easily double count cars that have changed hands. I think several are owned or know to PFA'ers. edgy and Ozvino 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevMcRev Posted 11August, 2015 Report Share Posted 11August, 2015 $325K sure sounds a lot...but I can see the day it'll be $500K not being all that far away.I remember seeing one for about $170K when I were looking for my car 3 years ago...It was "only" about $100K over my budget back then...But damn that thing looks horn.Seriously seeing that makes me doubt why i'd build an aircooled hotrod or 73RS replica. Why not grab a cheap 996 donor and just go full GT3RS replica? I think it would be a waaay better car, and probably cheaper too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
