911S Prices
Is this a realistic price for this car?
It seems high if it was perfect, but it isnt 100% original....

It's a realistic price for two of those cars. Even then it's on the high side.

Pretty proud of that, isn't he? It's by no means an original S either, there's some pretty substantial modifications.

Since you're asking for opinions:
A) I don't think that it will fetch that price, but then I haven't been tracking the wacky early 911 market lately. As you correctly state, it is not original. It's a restored car, with lots of changes and parts more commonly found on an RS replica. How it can be "numbers matching" and have a 7R case is a real head-scratcher. However...
B) It is a beautiful car, with a lot of tasteful and *not cheap* mods. Personally, I would have to see/drive/inspect the car up close and personal before considering any big $$ deal. If you are considering it as an investment, you must be a trustafarian or just won a big accident settlement. No one who actually made $$ in the real world would "invest" in that car at that price today. If you have silly $$ and don't give a schit, $100k is insignificant, go for it! People buy new 911s everyday for about the same or more. This car will probably depreciate faster, though.

It will sell. Go to the Early S Registry and see what's going on the for sale forum. Good cars now cost $50k+, excellent cars a lot more. Someone had posted recent sale prices where numerous Esses had sold for over $100k. They subsequently removed the prices. One 67S soft window targa fetched 147K or so.

That's really testing the market, IMO. I don't think that will sell.

These ads are designed to push the market.
remember when a $25K S was considered a top sales price?

Porsche was a very small company back then and when they had a new part they threw it out on the line and it could have ended up anywhere. BTW: $100K for that car is just stupid and we know there are stupid people out there.

Non-standard door panels, something missing from the air intake.

Ok, so we are all on the same page.
I remember a few years ago my friends wife told him he had to sell his precious M3. Well, he listed it for $75k....he told his wife that had complied with her and listed it, but sadly no one wanted to buy it. I was thinking maybe this was the same tactic. PS If anybody wants my 911SC Cab I would be happy to let it go for 95k....

FWIW, I probably left $50K on the table when I "sold" my car to Evren. Stupid of me? Nope...because I know the car will never be in the hands of those money changers in the temple...

You got it...but you have to admit, it's a better car than the one they are asking 95K for....stay tuned for photos of Evren's car in front of Istanbul landmarks...
