A little optimistic on long nose S pricing?
 

Porsche : 911:eBay Motors (item 140371979431 end time Jan-14-10 13:55:56 PST)

Correct me if I am wrong but thats a tad on the high side?

Pretty nice, unusual and well documented S.

Probably could have come close to that price during the peak of S prices a few years ago.

Today? Probably not, but you never know.

What I never understand, is these cars that have supposedly had top notch restorations, still have over spray on the i.d plates. I mean if you can't be bothered to mask the plate or drill out the rivets when repainting the car, what other corners have been cut?

15X7R's were not offered for the fronts. The dealer invoice for 2 @ $400, confirms this.
Other things are probably not as original as presented, ...so, maybe $148,000? :eek:

It's a nice car, no doubt about it. It has a real nice interior, rebuilt trans, and is not "fully restored". But priced at the limit of what the market could ever bear. Sloanecars has 2 or 3 early "S"es and they are priced at 75-80K.

That said, the seller only has to find ONE buyer at that price, and maybe she's out there somewhere ! :-)

At least they replaced the fugly 73 bumperettes.

beautiful car.

wonder what 'restoring' paint means. repaint, touch up?

Sure beats the 'rare, last year made' SC that is stock but only weighs 2500 lbs. on ebay :rolleyes:

Is that the correct steering wheel?

Yes, it's a beautiful, well-document, unique car. Worth $150K+? Not in my book. To get that kind of money for a car like this "legitimately," that is outside of an artificial bubble, the car would need a pedigreed race history.

Wishful unless driven by S.McQ.....

Never had them according to the description.

Was a eurospec car, delivered in the Mother Country.

Beautiful, beautiful car.

Not 150k quality.

He mentions an upgrade to 2.8 hi comp. I hope he kept the original 2.4 P&Cs.

Agree with the above. Beautiful car, would love to have it, nowhere near 150k.

And yes, I'll be that guy: If you're going to ask $150k for something, run a spell check on the damn ad. Instill confidence in your buyers.

Seems priced at about double the potential.

230 HP from a single plug 2,4?

The 2.2S Ps and Cs do give a nice jump to a 70.4mm crank, although not sure about 230hp. Doing the same with my 2.4T motor bumped from 140 crank hp to about 145 rwhp. An S starts at 190 crank.

Hmm, the invoice lists an option for "US Equipments" at a cost of $477.48 I assumed that included the US bumperettes. Wouldn't they have had to be mounted to clear customs?

Why do people keep trying to make up stuff?
Rare RS dashpad? i don't think so, heck i know so: A speaker- less dashpad was produced for one year only- the 1976 model year - all 911 types.

EVERY RS and S, etc was delivered with the rectangular speaker grill ,whether the car had a radio kit or not

I keep seeing people go nuts over this supposedly "RS " part

I agree- the asking price is VERY optimistic

I recently inspected a 23k original miles 72 S , with terrific pedigree, documentation, unusual options, and in VERY original condition for considerable less than this asking price... And it did not sell

Edit: just looked over a few pics on the ebay ad. The dash in the car is a factory replacement unit that the dealers sold when the older stock ran out. This was porsche's idea on a crack free remedy to the separate speaker grill version. Now you can buy a new speaker grill version , BUT the armature that it is built on does not fit the car correctly
The steering wheel is made by Nardi in italy. Not a factory piece
The gas tank is from a 1974 or newer cis model

Yeeessss....I have a rare part on my car; And i have not destroyed it yet!!!!

I am still wondering about the steering wheel on the car for sale....anyone?
