John: (Whilst I am not in the market for another 911, upon pain of death!) is it just me or is the link on page 1 of this thread no longer working?

Yeah it seems all the electronic links I had are all expired, sorry. Anyone interested may have to go all "old skool" analog and phone Mike. PM me, I have his number.

I think this car will have sold by now as I spoke with Mike a week ago and he had a buyer lined up and just had to complete the deal.

Mike was vgood to deal with, and who knows if the lucky buyer might turn up here?

[Fishcop]

Mike is indeed a gentleman. Car had not sold as of yesterday...

Agreed, the majority of the world market currently have LHD cars, but from am investment potential wouldn't you rather purchase a vehicle that was produced from the fact in RHD form, which from a numbers perspective in comparison to LHD is very low. Thus increasing its investment potential in years to come.

But also its sought after factor many more people looking for LHD cars although it is true in the RS world that RHD vewrsions command the same or more then LHD counterparts

I understand that perhaps more people than I thought/was told have had a look at the car and may be able to offer further insight. My specific comments on this car relate to the 'category' of car - being a conversion and not kardex correct. The car is not correct and can not ever be made correct. My biases lay in incorrect/hotrod cars as I couldn't just keep a car in a garage or worry about driving it.

Its a judgement call for the buyer to decide whether $70+k on such a car is appropriate in their circumstance and whether you can love a 'bitsa'. I can and do

To me, given the price, the apparent condition, and particularly the use of NOS parts to do the conversion, I can testify first hand, that for the money its good value, particularly if you are hands off i the resto - if you want the experience without being hung up about the conversion. And if the price for our cars keeps going at a 45 degree upwards angle to the right on a graph, it will also be a good investment one day.

The market seems to say otherwise.
It's been here twice & no takers.

Maybe the "market" hasn't costed or experienced the cost to take a car and get it to what appears to be, this driving and cosmetic standard

The 'market' is not necessarily filled with knowledgeable buyers. Hopefully they find this forum and gain the knowledge.

Others may have to do it the hard way and buy a' bargain 911' and start learning why good cars command the price being asked.

Its always interesting to revisit CarSales now and again and see what dregs remain there when searching early 911's. Of course there are still some highly priced examples also sitting unsold.

Cars on this forum often dont last long.....

[Silver Fish]

I received a message from Mike today saying he has now sold the car.

I am still searching..........

[Fishcop]

This car just sold again @ $110k

So that's a credible benchmark for a very nice car with a 'proper' conversion, colour change, and gearbox sporto>manual.

It was terrific buying at under $80k 18 months ago...

After 3.5 years of dealing with a mate who wanted a tasty car... finally encouraged him to buy one. Heading to Canberra. I thought even at their 120k ask it represented value.

[SIR70t]

wow

It's a quality car that won't let the new owner down.

It is a simple process though.
Chassis $$$$
Running gear $$$$
Paint $$$$
Interior $$$$
Wheels $$$$

It is a bloody bargain when you add all of that up.

What is a 7/10 body worth these day. No paint or running gear. $40-$50k?
