What? No high rollers here?

Nice looking hot rod 911SC. A car that makes sense as an air cooled hot rod, since so many SC's were made.

I believe that I have seen this car at the local C&C. I think it was fairly well done.

My max bid would've been $40K.

Don’t need another Porsche, but there are ads for a PV544 and a 48 Plymouth that would be interesting. I had a 48 Chrysler for a while. It was like riding in a cloud - a really slow cloud. 250 cI six with about 110 hp and a 2 speed semi-automatic transmission. No rust. I was an idiot to sell it for $50. The 48 Plymouth would have 90hp and 3 on the tree.

So, you have any idea who is behind this "Avant Garde" outfit? I've been out of the Oregon Porsche scene long enough to not have a clue..

Nice car, but I can't wrap my head around an SC being worth more than about $20-$25K.

The 2019 F150 starts at $44K and up.

That SC example looks "factory new" and a whole lot more fun. Just sayin'..

I bought my 82 SC in 1999 for $5000. Sold it in 2013 for $35,000. Wish I had bought 5 of them back then. :-)

I cannot wrap my head around paying $44K for a new truck either. I guess i will never own a new car. again.

I have bought 3 911s over the years...all nice, well-running, rust-free examples (still have 2 of them), one for $5K ('74) that was subsequent totaled in an accident, one for $10K ('74) and one for just over $20K ('89) if I recall. My newest car is a well-optioned 2004 Cayenne Turbo that I bought about 10 years ago...and it cost too much ($30K) with around 50K mi.

I think the BAT article mentions that "S Car Go Racing" in San Rafael, CA did all the mods.
