MB911 Posted 26August, 2015 Report Share Posted 26August, 2015 That would almost be worth it for parts, or to convert it to a backdate or similar. Good base for a hot rod. I'm wondering how much to get it back to a more original form, basically get all the fibreglass to the tip and get a 911 look back to it, might be a nice car under there in a hotrod kind of way ????

Then paint. If it the existing has been done well you would be looking at another $5 - $10k. Depends on how much you could do yourself, you could have a very nice neat car.

You have to take some for a drive before you start randomly looking for good 911 examples - they are all quite different in their own way. There is also most likely a reason why all of them sell quickly and that yellow one has sat on the market. Work out a criteria and be patient and don't get caught up in the hype and rush your decision. Set up your auto alertsMonitor club sites Contact any local specialist mechanics Use the forum to its potential My 2 cents.

I think it may be closer to 30K or more to get this one back to original..... perhaps more considering its not running at the moment, but it does look very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to sell a dead modded car , much better price if it's running sweetly.If you don't mind all sorts of attention (including e-attention), it could be a hoot to drive.

ANF Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 If you don't mind all sorts of attention (including e-attention), it could be a hoot to drive.A cheap way into 911 ownership and if you did drive it around as is it would allow more time to find some "cheap" parts to convert/ fix or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB911 Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 In the current climate it would be a good project for someone with the time, room and money to slowly "de 959" it back to something closer to a 911. I'm suprised it is not sold ??? You don't get much 911 for $25k anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 You don't get much 911 for $25k anymore The way that one looks ..... you still aren't getting much 911 for $25k ..... Blue964 and turboT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taken the CIS system out and installed EFI... having lived with two CIS cars lately, thats a bonus to me! If I bought it.. gut it, back date to RSR, paint... then drive daily. There's a guy flying in from QLD today who wants to buy my G wagen.... This could be dangerous! BJM and ByronBayChris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
