ANF Posted 19August, 2015 Report Share Posted 19August, 2015 This has been for sale forever http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-928-1987/SSE-AD-2255120/?Cr=0Proves the point that some 928s have led a hard life. With what can be seen could this be a good one again without losing too much $$$$ A good one may be worth $20k plus, can you fix this one up for only $10k....... probably not..... This could be one to drive until it breaks as Tazzie said about another...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 19August, 2015 Report Share Posted 19August, 2015 >I wonder which set of engineers dreamed up that IMS design? That's some fine work, there!The IMS design is an artefact of insisting on using a single head casting to do both sides. As one of the heads is on 'backwards' it required an IMS bearing in the wrong end of the motor. To save money on only having a single casting. I'd say that was a Toyota cost-cutting decision right there, as is the shared, one-piece headlights that everyone loves to hate.Boys I'm reading page 408 here & it's reading like some sort of 911,928 pissing contest. Err boring by the way.You may have forgot what this thread is, What's for sale (in Australia) & interesting Tread. This page contains non.True. But are there any Porsches for sale in Australia any more? I thought they had all been bought this morning after being listed last night.But in the spirit of the thread, here's a longhood with an impact bumper update, at a ripper price of $15http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/legana/collectables/vintage-1970-s-1-24-model-porsche-911s-burago-made-in-italy/1087046278Or a Targa shell for $3khttp://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/camden-south/cars-vans-utes/porsche-911-targa-/1086798959Sorry I couldn't actually find an actual 911 for sale.

tazzieman Posted 19August, 2015 Report Share Posted 19August, 2015 So now the collectors have had their way , there are only 911 crumbs left...you just have to wait for the bubble to burst. But in the meantime there are other value for money Porsches for sale , some of which are interesting and worthy of discussion in this thread.

Rex911 Posted 19August, 2015 Report Share Posted 19August, 2015 What are you thinking as other alternatives? And do you think that bubble will burst? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 19August, 2015 Report Share Posted 19August, 2015 What are you thinking as other alternatives? And do you think that bubble will burst? If you mean old school cars , 944s for a start - great daily drivers and/or weekend toys. I dare not mention the car that ends in 8. The bubble has to burst , though the new entry point will have been raised, along with parts prices given our Oz dollar and import taxes. So the AC 911 will probably be unattainable for many, at least until they are over the hump of family costs. And then "modern" Porsches will be pretty affordable. I do think investing in a crystal ball could be useful, because genies in bottles are not real. edgy, Peter M and KGB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say he is on a quest to collect every Australian delivered Porsche he can lay his hands on and then wash them daily with salt water just to mess with us.

tazzieman Posted 20August, 2015 Report Share Posted 20August, 2015 paddock memberComing from Rod Stewart that's pretty funny. And Mr Fish still carnt spel. Interesting. Mr Fish's 912 has the iconic shape and glorious retro colouration , yet this is not enough to erect the wallet?What then does define the aircooled 911s irresistible charm? The engine?

There has been plenty of interest. Seller possibly looking for a fatter wallet. But yes - a 'proper' engine and this car would have been sold in the first 10 minutes.
