Dreamr Posted 14January, 2015 Report Share Posted 14January, 2015 By my calculations, the only benefit in using this car for a hotrod will be for me ..... Why?? There will be 1 less original.Aussie delivered car available so mine will skyrocket in value ..... Which way should I lean? ....... leave it for originality sake or make money by having one destroyed ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJM Posted 14January, 2015 Report Share Posted 14January, 2015 How much to turbo this one? Which ever way you go I look forward to the build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 14January, 2015 Report Share Posted 14January, 2015 Isn't there a platinum metallic sc for sale on carsales with 300k showing and advertised at $49k? It's been there for about 9 months now. The car reads well so I think the market is saying "too much" If your car is a survivor I would think carefully before doing irreversible mods. I know it's 'only an SC' but that's what people said even four years ago 'it s only a 'T'. I totally get wanting to wander off the reservation though. I say put it up for sale and see what happens. You'll either get an offer your happy with, or you won't. You can easily fend off time wasters by screening them on the phone. If someone is serious and has cash they won't mind a few qualifying questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 15January, 2015 Report Share Posted 15January, 2015 My 2 cents Keep what you have and add reversible modifications as you can afford it, yet still have the opportunity to drive it at your leisure. In my current experience, if you have a set budget for a new car to modify, have an extra slush fund for parts you didnt think you needed to replace, and don't put a time limit on the build. 3 months ago, we were well ahead to finish the car during these holidays and ready for March trip the Philip Island. Circumstances out of my control will probably kill that idea now. Hey, its your life and your money, do what makes you happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarreraG50 Posted 15January, 2015 Report Share Posted 15January, 2015 I know its old school and you will get d!ckhe@ds but try eBay, you can put an unrealistic reserve on it($150k) no one will reach it, but it might give you an idea on how much its worth. You can always contact the top bidder and negotiate (if they are genuine). Or just try and sell it with a genuine reserve, you never know.......

clutch-monkey Posted 17January, 2015 Report Share Posted 17January, 2015 True. I don't have a lot of cash to throw around so I had in mind to sell mine and start with a left hook basket case. I should be able to use the same bucket of money to build what I want. So, what do you recon it's worth at the moment? i feel like that is false economy though- getting a basket case up to scratch and then modifying it could likely be a pretty hefty expense compared to starting with a clean car that you already know well.

Shady Speedway Posted 17January, 2015 Report Share Posted 17January, 2015 Better the devil you know. I'd jazz up this one. Just do bolt on bits and keep everything you unbolt just in case it is worth big bucks some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 17January, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17January, 2015 Well I'd have to put the flares on and paint it again. :/ Biggest issue is cash flow. Not worried about the devil i know situation. I've owned and built a lot of cars over the years and have gotten reasonably good at spotting a dud. I started cleaning up the last jobs last night. Will float it on the market in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 17January, 2015 Report Share Posted 17January, 2015 I'll be watching this one with interest ..... Good luck and please keep us informed .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 31January, 2015 Report Share Posted 31January, 2015 I think too, if you get really good images of the car exposed correctly and showing how great it looks that will help get the buyers out to look at it and not run at the kilometres thing. As we know, some people will go OH GAWD too high and others will be realistic knowing at least your car is honest. Get some great photos, good description and put that $47k on it I reckon. And if you don't sell it - make this your hot rod. As someone else said, extend the relationship you have with this machine. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 4February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 4February, 2015 Thanks! I drove it to work today and it reminded me of why I own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09ELF Posted 10February, 2015 Report Share Posted 10February, 2015 Depends on the extent of the work planned.. End of the day, the base on any car needs to be half decent, else you will end up spending 10's of thousands just to bring it back to reasonable state before any modifications can take place. I think you should RWB it.. lol.... only cause I want to see one in australia.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quozl Posted 18February, 2015 Report Share Posted 18February, 2015 Some interesting thoughts on the SC and values of original unmolested examples in this thread on Pelican http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/851655-911-super-carrera-next-big-thing.html Food for thought before you decide whether modifying this one is the way to go.
