The great Gumtree debate

[Cairns888]

Maybe we can keep them all in here for future reference.


This one seems a very good project.

Seems like the seller has some issues to work through?!?


Porsche 911E model built Nov 1970
Non-sunroof coupe

It is NOT a purist car because it:

Is NOT LHD (it is Factory Right-hand drive)
Is NOT Germany delivered (it is Australian delivered)
Is NOT matching numbers
Has wrong fuel tank (instead has '73 dated RSR fuel tank)
Has wrong brakes (cross-drilled ), wrong steering wheel (Nardi wood), wrong tyres and also has Retro sound stereo

Has wrong seats are wrong, and wrong motor and also available spare 3.2 motor with high butterfly MFI

Also has more than one owner

As its built after '69, it's NOT a Type 901 car so no enquiries of this nature are required thanks.

Looking for offers over $50k


Comes with inspection slip if you want to register in NSW

Me thinks seller is taking the p!ss.

This car was for sale not that long ago.

[patrick911]

with things like a RSR fuel tank, spare 3.2 engine with MFI this could be a good deal.

agreed john

was for sale in June for $48K since then the front seats have been changed from black G series to what you see now

i suspect the commentary reflects what he was asked last time around

it is originally an australian delivered 911E sporto (1971 MY) in bahia red

[Fishcop]

At the asking price, I think it's a nice 'each way bet'. It would seem all you have to do is go drive it...

Whilst enjoying the drives, you could spend a few years collecting some bits and pieces (and possibly even locate the engine if you're lucky). Or you could go straight to a backdate. But I'd rather drive it!

Here's how it should look...

[SIR70t]

I agree John , however, all best efforts today to speak with the owner have proved difficult.

[Merv]

Market peak now and sellers rule. This can't continue with the way the international economy is moving. If the US puts up interest rates, our dollar will be worth 50 cents with the current balance of trade. Of course, that could mean any decent cars will be even more likely to go overseas.

[Mick Case]

From memory it was initially for sale under the name of Paul. Also potentially reflected in the number plate in the first photo. Number plate change and now Dave is selling. ....???

If anybody is really serious about buying this, send me a PM.

Thanks

Is it yours Julian?

Also why are there 2 threads the same. Let's use this one. I think it is going to get juicy.

[JulianG]

No, I have no affiliation in any way with the car, although I will say that at $50K for the car and the engine mentioned it is fairly priced in today's market.

[Merv]

I agree Julian but I suspect this is an auction and the 50K is the 'reserve'.

[Fishcop]

At least this "non auction" has a starting price...

I tried to shift all the posts to this thread and stuffed it up
