Looks pretty nice for a bastard. But I cant imagine it going much higher than the current bid. 30 k will get you a nice original 3.2.

I feel like I should be more of a purist, but I can't help but love a clean backdated car. Definitely beats the SC to 964 conversion listed on there as well.

This is pretty sweet - would have been interested if I didn't just buy a car. GLWS!

Sweet looking car!

A stock 3.2 in that condition would be a ~$30k car.

No idea what the market thinks of back dates, but I would guess it would add value to the "right" buyer if done to a high standard, and this looks the business in the pictures.

I hope techweenie drops in -- I think he has mentioned expeirence with backdates before.

Maybe $40k if you are willing to hold out for a bite in a selective market? But that is a total swag.

Are you in a hurry to sell, and what is the net present value of your money?

[metzger]

I should have clarified, it's not my car. I'm in the market and wanted you guys to verify that this car will exceed my budget haha. With 20 bids and 9 days left at $30k I would expect it to end up being more than I want to spend, but we'll see.

Wow, that looked like a really nice car.

It sold offline, but my guess is it went for over $40K.

I bet if fully advertised, marketed, etc. it could have gone over $50K.

It's not for everyone, but there are still plenty who would pay fairly large for a backdated car like that. And it only takes 1!

Wow, that didn't last long. Those prices are more in line with what I would expect. I wish I could justify that expense for a weekend car, but I'm too cheap! I can live with impact bumpers though.

$50K or more. Looks like a really well sorted car.

That seems irrationally cheap, which my research indicates would be pretty expensive! Looks to be in good shape though, won't hurt to call. Thanks!

Hard to read the receipts, but it looks like an engine and tranny rebuild.

I have no answers for what is going on with that car. It looks pretty incredible for that price.

That is the car "before" the backdate

Oh wow! Sold in 2011. I remember seeing clean cars at that price, should have bought then.

[COLB]

Nice find!

keep an eye out for the car. We may see it for sale again soon.

[christiandk]

Is an impact bumper car actually longer than a LWB longhood (bumpers aside of course)?

The car in question just seems too long compared to a RS.

This is not a 84 But still its a Clone and it sold for close to $95k.

Impressive Build: RSR-Style 1973 Porsche 911T




I've had and seen lots of 80's RS clones go for the 60-80k Range, The big thing is the quality of the build. I seen this car in Person at legends of the autobahn concourse and It is as nice as it looks. It scored very high for a clone as well.

Good information, thank you! Makes you wonder who is paying $500k for the Singer cars, though they do look amazing.

Yeah I expect the Orange RS car to hit the market again and I figure it would do in the 60-70k range
