OZ930 Posted 20April, 2016 Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 (edited) Talking Vulgar .. did I miss a discussion on this , who could do that to a Thttp://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-1971/OAG-AD-12346954/?Cr=24Isnt the S a much better drive ? Back then very few could afford a new IB 911 or 930, and the longhoods were "cheap" so they were being bought up by the less well healed and converted to 930 replicas.It's no different to what has happened to the 964. A lull in popularity, so cheap, so people "hack" up these cars because they want the longhood look with the comforts and refinements of the "modern" car.It would seem logical to buy up these converted longhoods and restore them, but, it seems people don't want the "raw" sportscar and I can understand that.

Seems the stink lingers on though with the G series and newer cars.Symsy is an S a better drive than a T? IMO mostly real world irrelevance. yes a bit more snap crackle pop and alot of badge engineering, amongst enthusiasts and moto journosand car dealers Edited 21April, 2016 by michel symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO mostly real world irrelevance. yes a bit more snap crackle pop and alot of badge engineering, amongst enthusiasts and moto journosI believe it doesn't have the matching gearbox casing in the car but it is being sold with the car. So more or less a matching no. 'S', yes converted and missing the OEM oil lines but still looks to be a pretty little car and priced very 'cheap' in the current market. Was definitely a bargain, a rarity in today's climate.................I'm guessing we may see if pop back up if someone is looking to take advantage of the situation and make a quick flip.

hugh Posted 21April, 2016 Report Share Posted 21April, 2016 Same seller as the 911S discussed above ....Seems quite well priced for what it is ..... desperate to sell, or out of touch with today's market??He is closely related to someone well known in the Porsche community so I believe he is aware of current market trends. As I understand he is moving onto 'other' projects so is keen to just move them on quickly and has priced accordingly (although I would still argue that the 69 was very cheap all things considered). Not often you find someone selling honest 911's at what we may regard as honest prices, I thought those days were long gone!

IMO mostly real world irrelevance. yes a bit more snap crackle pop and alot of badge engineering, amongst enthusiasts and moto journosand car dealers World of difference. T relatively sedate and easy to drive to work as a daily. Early original S is a pain in the A... Slow /lethargic of the line at low revs. Switches to manic when it gets on the cams. Lot of work.

Jason E Posted 21April, 2016 Report Share Posted 21April, 2016 It amazes me that people try so little to sell their car. Maybe I am missing something or maybe the idea is that the car doesn't "need" to be sold as it sells itself however I feel like saying throw me some info & take 30 pictures- the pics are free. Show me what you want me to buy for Gods sake. Maybe I am ignorant or just not in the know...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
