Is the 911S that rare? Has the 911S crossed over from being an awesome automobile to fine art? Can I find more than a quarter of a million dollars in disposable income to own one?John Forcier

what would this one from 2008, be worth now?

how long ago is it now that you could buy an RS for the same money?Last edited by Michel; 05-06-14, 02:08 PM.

Yeah I was gobsmacked when the RS cars hit the $200k mark!
My real concern is that these cars will become a little too expensive to have fun with. If I feel nervous simply being in a car due to the perceived risk of damage - how can that be enjoyable?
I guess I'll have to find the "next big automotive thing" to enjoy and use the 911s to bank-roll my retirementJohn Forcier

Makes Clyde's old 69S at Classic Throttle Shop look like a relative bargain for a Yank to pick up at only A$135k . . . although it might cost $100k to match the condition of the yellow one

And another beauty (I think from the same seller)
1970 Porsche 911S Coupe VIN 9110300392 Engine 6300454 Irish Green / 15 293978 Those that know early 911S’, know that the 2.2 liter equipped 1970 and 1971 versions are the fastest and sweetest motors that were used in the LWB models. These motors are easy revving and deliver power smoothly. This particular 1970 911S runs as good as it looks, has been fully restored, and has been very well maintained since that restoration. The mileage is just over 68k and it is believed to be original.John Forcier

The rising prices of these things are a concern if like me, you want a hot rod or race car. If they get too valuable, all we'll see is over-restored original cars that never get driven.
Given I don't want to sell, I guess I'll just have to ignore the rising values and do what I want.Jeff Eelkema

Tangerine 69S is great mechanically but needs some body work and you know how that can add up.
It was traded as part of my ST build at Classic Road and Track so apart from between Mark, Dave and myself no price was ever put on the car.
I got way more work than I paid for(still continuing) so I am glad the car value went up to offset the cost for Mark and Dave.
In the end I think we both finished up where we would have liked to...happy.Last edited by Terminator; 07-06-14, 06:59 PM.Clyde Boyer
