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?

[McLovin]

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?

[bkreigsr]

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?

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.

[berettafan]

beautiful car.

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

[Buckterrier]

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

[ghost1001]

Is that the correct steering wheel?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

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.

[Jgordon]

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.

[Jgordon]

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.

[CBRacerX]

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?
