TrevMcRev Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 hahah, no! Was trying to look for how to set that up last night Also makes it hard when a lot of the cars are out of my state.(NSW)waiting on more info on 930 hot rod at lobrek Melbourne . i like that yellow thing.. Pretty sure that car is not a 930. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raafrebel Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 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've done all above except alerts.im taking a look at nice 996 turbo today or tomorrow. Has X50 factory upgrade.if it's a good one, I will get PPInot sure how many have X50, but sure that not that many have it... 450hp car, should be fun!!? Pretty sure that car is not a 930.it's not.... Original hot rod with original 930 motor , gearbox and brakes500 hp on tap , built by auto art Melbourne with 1000 ks on motor. Might be flying down next week if 996 turbo is no good hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 27August, 2015 Report Share Posted 27August, 2015 careful! Next thing you'll be driving a LHD and being shunned like a 928 driver.The only way into another 911 is LHD from the States me thinks. I'd love a lefty, stripped out project/track car.

Just remember not all US cars are equal. Some come from states where they salt the roads. Choose wisely. The exchange rate is not conducive to US buying right now, though.

LeeM Posted 28August, 2015 Report Share Posted 28August, 2015 Had a squiz at this today out of pure curiousity. I don't know the sellerhttp://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/adelaide-cbd/cars-vans-utes/porsche-944/1087233291Gearbox is out of it, starts and runs, yet it's 'tappety' that doesnt go away after 5 mins idling, and an oil smell when I switched it off. Unknown history as to when the belts were changed, so it's a bit of a lottery without a PPIInterior is pretty good, yet dash is cracked in a few places. Switches and dials all seem to work ok, as does the sunroof. Seats and carpet just need a good clean.Body is good, yet the bonnet needs minor work and a complete front end paint job to make it nice. A small golfball dent (or dint for you Victorians) above the LH A pillar, but thats about it.If you're after a good project, you'd get it for $3000 he tells me. I really like 944's, and would buy it as a future project if I didnt have to rebuild the 912 engine.

LeeM Posted 28August, 2015 Report Share Posted 28August, 2015 I've roughly worked out that it'd be on the road for well under $10k with a gearbox, new cam belts etc and some other little bits you might find that need repairingI'd love to stick it in the shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 28August, 2015 Report Share Posted 28August, 2015 And while you're interested in red 944s, here's a 952 setting the price pace...Looks like a gorgeous example, has all the desirables including M030, LSD, would love to see them get the price...http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/_/OAG-AD-5460243?WT.seg_4=AutoAlert;PCAA&sdmvc=1&utm_campaign=bau&utm_medium=email&utm_source=transact&utm_content=autoalert&WT.seg_4=SearchAlert;PCAA PatGF and MB911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 29August, 2015 Report Share Posted 29August, 2015 Had a chat with a bloke today, and he has a 74 'wide bodied' car that should be up for sale soon.If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was bought last year from W.A as a fixer upper with massive wheels on it. Looked like a beast of a hot rod thing that needed paint and some TLC.It's a Jap rhd import with a 3.0 fitted, yet thats about the only info I have at the moment, and he'll be chasing around $50k for itIt's going for rego inspection soon, Anyway, I have first refusal on it, as he's busting to get my 912 (ain't gunna happen) so I'll get some pics and info and keep anyone posted if theyre keen on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboT Posted 29August, 2015 Report Share Posted 29August, 2015 Yeah, thats the one I reckon. I wasnt sure if it had Fuchs or notwas this close to buying it. Had a great stance to it and a g50 box from memory, so basically the perfect hot rod platform.
