1st Posted 15August, 2015 Report Share Posted 15August, 2015 So the McQueen connection is worth about $1.7-1.8m on top of the car; here's a 17,000 mile from new 930 3.0 that made $us160,000 at the same sale and was unsold under the hammer but has since been marked sold at $us175,000.https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/CA0815-219914/0/1977-Porsche-930-Turbo/4-Speed/An '87 with 47,000 miles sold for $A110,000https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22792/lot/69/There might be some heat coming out of the 930 hype....(?)

Essentially in production for 14 years with over 20,000 made so not exactly rare. Probably a bit of over supply in the US because those prices are good. Mind you the 3.0l you mentioned sold for $175kUS (see bellow), which is nearly $240k aus, so still a bit of heat considering as these were $40k a few years ago https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/CA0815-219914/0/1977-Porsche-930-Turbo/4-Speed/ Are you making a comparison between McQueen & Crowe?

tazzieman Posted 16August, 2015 Report Share Posted 16August, 2015 What's the difference between Steve McQueen and Russell Crowe?One is really cool, car nut and could act.The difference is that Russell doesn't as far as we know have quite the dark side as the otherIn person, McQueen was a short, boorish man of few words — sometimes choosing to communicate only in grunts.

turboT Posted 16August, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 16August, 2015 Makes you think. With all these backdates maybe all we need is a decent 930 import, re spay the exterior grey, back date spoiler and you basically have an amazingly cool car. That grey looks amazing. Maybe need to re look at all those lemons on car sales. With no intent of being original they might be good options.. What's with the ?

tazzieman Posted 16August, 2015 Report Share Posted 16August, 2015 Dreaming of an all grey garage right nowThe colour of caution and compromise, diligent greys search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Greys like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Greys often have good business ability and tend to work too much. True to type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
