LeeM Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 Depends how fussy you are really One mans treasure is anothers trash. As I mentioned, I'd buy it if I was in the market, because I'm not that fussy with Oz delivered being a must. If it looks good and goes well but needs a little TLC, I'm happy with that, as for $50k or a tad more, what else is available? I have a brief video of it too SA has very strict rules when it comes to vehicle inspections for rego, and theres no way in a fit a car would get passed if it was dodgy. The owner told me it took a few goes for them to be satisfied it was roadworthy, and he showed me a list of receipts and all the documentation that the inspection mob required him to have changed. He also has an Oz delivered 70something hot rod (76 I think) in metallic blue for sale at around $75k. Possibly a white Japanese Turbo Targa coming up for sale too. That has some horrid side skirts that are being removed. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 Is it worth stumping up the cash, buying it sight unseen and putting it on a truck..!? I can't find what I want, maybe I should buy what you want and call it a good deal.! It's only a 2 hour flight .... I'm sure there will be 1 or 2 people that would be happy to meet you and go with you to look at the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f40-r Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 This 74 with steel Turbo guards and tail is advertised on Gumtree for $59k here in Adelaide. Its a Hong Kong car that was a real pig for sale in WA early last year or maybe even before that. I drove it today, and if anyone is not bothered with the import/non Aussie delivered thing and wants a cheap 3.0, I would be having a look at it. It does have some minor paint blemishes here n there, yet overall I was surprised at how good it looks with most panel gaps pretty good. A 10 foot car you could call it I spose. The interior is very good, and overall its in good condition. Drove very well and tracked very straight when braking and letting go of the steering wheel (Momo i think). Sounded incredible too! It has had a few grand spent on suspension and other little things. The owner is a nice bloke and was very honest, as he pointed things out that I hadnt noticed (I was still on a high from driving it!) If I had $50k I'd buy itis it good? I'll buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2010/SSE-AD-3740697/?Cr=0Reduced and the owner is happy to take less...

I don't need another red Porsche.I was in Sydney today and dropped into CTS. I like the look of the the Martini and the Ron Goodman 70T hot rod. For that sort of money, though, you could turn this red 74 into something pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 Lee, its good for a non purist and someone who isn't bothered with a few little paint problems. 10 feet away you probably can't see them. He said $52k to me.The way I see it, is that its a rhd imported car, non original body, wheels, engine etc, yet for someone that just wants a 911 thats tidy and goes like the clappers (I drive a van and a Ford Territory, so don't gauge its power on my thoughts!). Its probably worth the asking price, but not more TE911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 74 model with Turbo guards, genuine tail and front lip. 3.0 fitted with 5 speed. Its definitely not original, nor is it matching numbers In all honesty Lee, and I say this with all due respect to you and your documented purchases, I would say this car is not for you knowing what you own, and have owned. Its more attractive to someone like me who doesn't have the funding to buy a perfect example of a 911. Its a modified car that doesnt have much, if any, documented history. I do know it was a pig 12 to 18 months ago, but quite a bit of cash has been spent on it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f40-r Posted 23February, 2016 Report Share Posted 23February, 2016 Thanks Lee... It makes sense cause I thought it was a 930 Turbo 3.0 and couldn't believe why no one has jumped on it! My mistake.At the moment I'm testing the waters on my GT3, I don't want to sell it but I don't know why I sold the RS a year ago (2,600kms for $330,000), cause now I want one but I'm waiting for the market to come back.BTW duttons bought the 1,500km GT3RS from QLD and it sold for $452,000.

I'm not trying to be critical, it just seems like a waste of your time and the seller's time? Did he know you weren't interested in buying it?

clutch-monkey Posted 24February, 2016 Report Share Posted 24February, 2016 (edited) Is that the WA car that people were scared of? I never saw it so have no idea. If it is, has it had work done since?I am quite partial to a fat bottomed Porsche. I don't need another red Porsche. if it's the the one i looked at the wiring loom needs serious work and there is rust on the inside of the wide body where it is welded to the car.that was some years ago though and i hope has been rectified as per lee's post Edited 24February, 2016 by clutch-monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 24February, 2016 Report Share Posted 24February, 2016 (edited) notwithstanding what the current or prev or seller before may or may not have done - this car if it was the WA red rust monster had more issues to resolve than just the pan replacement. True though 12 months back perps were saying 30k was entry point for tired old things. today? 50k + - is not bad buying. Though personally id be happy to drive a real tidy converted car for the same money Edited 24February, 2016 by michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anymore on c4 values, but with the silver one looking like it has sold, this latest one, the green one online and my flipped one all asking well over $100k you have to think a $100K+ c4 is the new reality.

LeeM Posted 24February, 2016 Report Share Posted 24February, 2016 As per my original post. It was from WA that had been labelled a rust monster by a friend of mine who originally looked at the car, and what had been mentioned by some other forums. I have been warned off of it, but curiosity got the better of me I wish to clarify that I looked at the car because it is within the budget of those able to afford a $50k 911, not a matching numbers Oz delivered $80k to $150k 911. I did look at it for myself, and for a friend of mine who wants a Porsche, but can't justify spending 100k on an 'old car' as he puts it. Whether everything has been fixed on the car that I looked at and drove, I have absolutely no idea. I just bloody loved driving it, and WOULD buy it if I had $50k, because I dont give a toss what others think about imported or converted cars. What IS attractive to us less well healed Porsche nuts, especially South Australians, is that the car has been put through the ringer by the rego inspection mob, who are possibly THE most fastidious in Australia, and the car has passed with flying colours. If it was rooted, there is NO WAY it would pass inspection. I merely posted the car here to tell you my experience with driving it, yet to you guys that have been driving 911's for years, it might be a heap of shit, but it drove very well for a car from 1974 if you ask me. Whether anyone pursues it is up to them, and if you are, as mentioned by someone else here, its a cheap flight to have a look for yourself. As far as I'm concerned, the owner/seller was honest with me, and pointed out its flaws which wouldnt bother me, but might bother someone else.
