hugh Posted 9August, 2016 Report Share Posted 9August, 2016 The word is it had an off at the track and damaged the n/s rear qtr, Rear bar and engine lid, No structural members replaced just repair and paint and while you are there hence the full respray.Thanks Tomo!If nothing dire and properly repaired, what's the big deal?if a big shunt and less than perfect repair, maybe a different storyCompletely, storm in a teacup speculation. Sounds like nothing that cant be fixed 100% and so long as it has been I cant see any issue. Don't see many white Mk1's (don't generally see many MK1's) so I'd still be thinking its worth a look...............I'd suggest anyone interested take a look and avoid asking for opinions on here.

Ozvino Posted 9August, 2016 Report Share Posted 9August, 2016 (edited) Lord knows I've been tempted by this car.. Likewise - I love the look of that car, but I figure a manual conversion is what? $10k-12k incl. a box? Pushes it into the not worth it territory, plus I would ruin the car from an originality perspective Edited 9August, 2016 by Ozvino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue964 Posted 9August, 2016 Report Share Posted 9August, 2016 The word is it had an off at the track and damaged the n/s rear qtr, Rear bar and engine lid, No structural members replaced just repair and paint and while you are there hence the full respray.Did AH tell you that? I saw this car when it was in for repair and I can assure you it was more than a rear qtr, rear bar and engine lid. At $170k this isn't far from some of the recent high prices being asked for mint 996GT3s and if you're willing to drop that type of cash on a 996GT3 surely you wouldn't be unreasonable to hang out for something with a clean history. Has the price of 996GT3s sky rocketed so high that $170 now represents good buying value for a crashed 996GT3? What the hell do I know about the market so maybe it does. Not saying the car is a pile of shit, but the last time I checked clean 996GT3s didn't sit on the market too long. How long has this car been on the market...

Early cars used a 901, the it was a 911, then a 915. So it seems the 915 was a long wheelbase prototype that never got made, but the 5 speed they developed for it was introduced to the 911. Note that the correct gearbox is a 915/xx as per above. Same as 911 so running a 930 engine case I guess.for some reason they switched to g50 and then g64, but there appears to be no record of a type 950. There is a 951 but that came later. Perhaps there was a 950 prototype which would date to early/mid eighties and would sound about right for the g50.facinating stuff for the budding anorak.incidentally BMW uses the same tpye of system for chassis numbers, with each starting with an'e' in the good old days, but now they are up to 'f'. The gaps between signify cars that never made it to production. So somewhere there is a chassis with e37 on it, despite no beast ever making it to production Doh! I meant e35. E37 being a z4.
