Philbee Posted 19April, 2016 Report Share Posted 19April, 2016 hijust joined... Been looking at the RSR replica currently on carsales (silver with black interior, at duttons, priced at $120k) and wondering if any of you experts had any comments on it, i.e. Any good? Good price? These hot rods, too much trouble, high maintenance?The background info I know is:has a 930 turbo Aussie 3.0 enginechassis/shell imported from USA and converted to rhdengine built/prepped by autoartHas boxster brakeshas a fuel cell petrol tank in the boot <-- what's the point of this? Just lose boot space!has upgraded camThought maybe best is to get a ppi with weltmeister done.... (I'm no techo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 19April, 2016 Report Share Posted 19April, 2016 Do your research on registration. It WILL need a VASS certificate and will need to go on M plates if under the club permit scheme in VIC. Not necessarily a big deal but do your research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 19April, 2016 Report Share Posted 19April, 2016 They have had it for a long time. Pricing seems inline with backdate cars (originally asking a lot more). Possibly some complication like GUT is suggesting? You certainly couldn't build it anymore for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 19April, 2016 Report Share Posted 19April, 2016 Considering the baseline price for a decent AC 911 I'd say 120k is a fair price especially considering the $$$ that's been spent on it. As tuboT said, no way you could build it for that. Looks like one hell of a car! Also worth considering Loui at Motionautomotive for an inspection as an alternative to Weltmeister. Best of luck!

Coastr Posted 20April, 2016 Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 What year is the chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 20April, 2016 Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 I sourced a 1972e matching numbers RHD converted car for a mate a month ago. Some at the PFA Canberra meet saw it Sat night.Hand picked by Bruce Anderson and shipped to oz, where it had a detailed factory correct conversion to RHD using NLA parts. Repainted a non orig but year correct pastel blue , laden with period correct factory options including sport seats and came with spare parts galore and boxes and boxes of ownership information and records.110k I thought it a steal and would have encouraged my mate to buy even if it was 140k. The 110k likely sets a high water mark for an early converted car. I'm thinking DUTTONS et al would list this at more than 160? what am I saying? Forgotten Oh yeh think you could apply a bit of downward pressure on the sticker price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philbee Posted 20April, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 Cheers guys, thanks for the replies. not sure what year the body is.Yes, I need to look into the rego more as its not straight forward, I think they wanted to sell w/o a rwc too... Hhmmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 20April, 2016 Report Share Posted 20April, 2016 As I said, in VIC you're almost certainly going to need a VASS.It says it's a '75 body in the ad. So that means emissions will be ok. But you're going to need to pass 96dB at around 4000rpm.I'd also be concerned about the wheels passing engineering - they're custom jobs.Seats, seatbelts, steering wheel, roll cage all need checking.Consult a VASS signatory to get a sense of what might be involved.Don't underestimate what might be required.Best to do things right - some clubs might run it through on H plates but I wouldn't want to test that with an insurance company after an incident or VICRoads in an audit.Go in with eyes wide open - don't trust a seller's assurances that 'she'll be right'.

TrevMcRev Posted 21April, 2016 Report Share Posted 21April, 2016 Or just tell the seller that at that $$$ I expect it with 12 months reg & rwc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raafrebel Posted 8May, 2016 Report Share Posted 8May, 2016 I think that the yellow 930 hot rod (been for sale for ages) is a better car.. its on car sales too.just needs a good set of wheels, but they done a fine job in building it , and claim they have all receipts for it.was built local in melbourne as well so u can ask engine builder whats it got.i was nearly going to buy it but found a faster one....

And love the look of ye olde long bonnet types....you could probably get it for 80-90k.... change out the crap wheels, add some black stripes or even paint it with the price difference. its based on 76 model shell.... i looked right into buying it, but found a much faster one for half the price!!good luck, keen to hear what u get. either way, any hot rod or replica you find will be (and is) great fun!!

Do you know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbee Posted 22October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 22October, 2016 thanks Michel. Well, it's a project car for sure. Hope they know that. And good point Symsy, the premium?
