I'd put a V8 conversion in before spending that money on a bare case!

[CS911E]

Surely one too many 'zeros'??

[JulianG]

As a question if said car was perfect, and this case made it numbers matching how much more would it be worth? Julian

[HughH]

Those guys always have outrageous prices on everything they have for sale

This time it is a bit more extreme
makes you wonder if they are really trying to sell things or just looking for desperate people or suckers
But if you have car 300135 (where it belongs) a car which is currently NOT on the "232 registry" of early cars, I wonder how much you would pay?

[CS911E]

It would make that price difference, but only if it were to match the car. A long shot perhaps??

[Fishcop]

Or they know who has it and want to be complete @rses...?

[CS911E]

Or they know who has it and want to be complete @rses...?

That was my other thought...

[JulianG]

hugh - that's my point - it would probably add that value to the car, so the real question is, who should make the additional "value" - the person who has the case, or the person who has the car?

Philosophers may contribute....

Having been through it recently... Both buyer and I recognised that there was value is both of us cooperating. BUT I was at least selling him the complete engine!

I was arguably in the box seat as the 68 2.0S engine was desirable regardless of whose chassis it sat in I'm a bit of a fan of karma... I was pleased to assist reuniting S engine with matching S chassis.

I guess I could tell you all my car is available and for-sale at $150k

[JulianG]

John, yes, I think you've hit the nail on the head - like the rest of life, be charitable, or like business, leave bit in it for the next person, or just be decent!!

[Fishcop]

That was certainly the thought Julian - leave a little for the next guy.

[PD Targa]

Looking at the price range for these early 901's coming up for auction at Pebble Beach this week the asking price for the housing may be spot on.

[Fishcop]

Gob-smacking!

My car is now for sale $200k!

[JulianG]

Yep, it might be immoral to sell it for that, but it probably makes financial sense to buy it you have the car...........
