tomo Posted 7September, 2016 Report Share Posted 7September, 2016 Looks pretty dodgy to me, but with potential. To start with, I can see almost zero evidence that it was once a 1970 911S. Not a single bit of chrome, nothing in the interior. It looks like somebody has transplanted every bit of a 3.2 into this car. I wonder if the chassis number has simply been "borrowed" to legitimise a car.What we can surmise so far. It looks like it was an LHD car, based on the '86 onward dash. Engine and gearbox transplant. Forward dated and made wide body plus had a sunroof added. To me, it doesn't look quite right.On the other hand, it claims that the engine (and maybe gearbox) were rebuilt in the last 3000kms. This could make the base for a great project but what is it really worth? I would suggest it's hard to know without a proper PPI. If the engine and gearbox are really good and there is no rust, I suspect you still have to consider a suspension and brake refresh. I would also want to be a bit more convinced by the true story behind the car. Even if everything checks out, i am not sure this isn't top money, or am I just tight!You would have to ask Johnny's Uncle's brother in-law Diamond911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symsy Posted 7September, 2016 Report Share Posted 7September, 2016 Outlaw Backdate Zagdate …I start to think think Johny Depp when not acting in Pirates of the Carribean ..sometimes confused about his sexuality , what dogs he is or isnt alllowed to bring in the country and if he should forward or backdate his look .. Mostly confused cars ..Im not sure HOTROD always goes with the groove with those cars… ROD as in many a dick tries to create one might be a better alignment.HOTROD an oxymoron , 3.0SC is still a 3.0SC .. 2.7 isnt quite gonna go like a 3.8 and not all Porsche running gear is equal but if you whack on some fat guards and a longhood all will be forgiven.. oh an lets not forget some retro seats.Its your everyday mans conversion coverup a cumber band over the rust or bad bodywork , if you cant fix it ,go fatGive me the GT3 brakes , 3.6 , 3.8 some juicy PMOS or drop in a supercup watercool engine and now your talking HOTROD SimonN, michel and Robert930 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest just comes down to plain old ownership , condition , maintenance.Thing is mostly they all drive the same unless they are just plain done wrong.. and the local thai takeawy in my area makes crap pizza.Lee like that word "overdrive" such an underated thing .. brings back the days of the MGB-GT -- yeah when do you hear of overdrive..whats wrong with these porsche people JonoF, scashin, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
