What do you think my RSR is worth? Restoration Pics and detailed info inside

[m325ix]

Here is a little list of what's been done to it

The car is registered as an 82 911 SC. I have this car since 1992 (almost 15 years), it's a 2 owner, clean title, no accidents, original 71k mile car. I just always wanted an RSR and finally, when the opportunity was there, it took me about a year to build it.

Everything on the car is new, except for the tub, roof, rear window and the doors. All the body parts came from www.gt-racing.com

It has carbon fiber hood and rear lid with spoiler, fiberglass front and rear bumpers, fiberglass front fenders and rear quarter panels. Also, all the seals: (hood, trunk, winshield, rear window, sunroof, doors, bumpers), front H4 Euro headlights, rear Euro tail lights are brand new. It has very rare Euro RS side mirrors with custom made wide angle glass.

Interior has new headliner, brand new winshield, all new seals, custom made carpet and porsche mats (also made to order to suit this car), 4 pt Automotion roll bar, custom carbon fiber door panels and carbon fiber dash, Custom alluminum door handles, RS door straps, Recaro SRD seats with 4 pt harness.

It also has $5k custom sound/navigation/DVD system with built in touch screen display, door speakers, tweaters, etc.. (you can see the built up process in the pics). The rear area is covered with alcantara/suede including rear panels, rear shelf and the area around custom made 2 little seats in the back.

Also, the front door panels have custom made Alcantara/suede panels and the sun visors are Alcantara/suede. The gauges are from North Hollywood speedometer (200 MPH Speedometer) with Performance Products aluminum rings around them, carbon fiber instrument cluster surrounding. It has Aluminum pedals and floorboards (both driver and passenger).
Momo suede steering wheel (brand new), suede shift boot (new), momo shift knob (new)

Car has alarm system and air horns, 30% (very light tint), custom power locks. New optima battery with custom alluminum battery bracket (required for the track use), cut off switch, fire extinguisher.

Motor is 87 3.2L with less than 45k miles. The swap was done by the GD Racing in San Bruno, CA. It has brand new racing clutch ! Before swaping the motor, we did the complete tune up. It also has the authority stand alone engine management with custom chip in a specially programmed DME. It has custom made exhaust with Bursch rear muffler redesigned for the RSR application. Lightweight flywheel. Car revs like a motorcycle ==> vrooom vroooooooom

It also has all new oil lines, high performance oil cooler in the front.

Brakes are 944 Turbo calipers with cross drilled rotors (new) Turbo Hawk Brake pads (new) in the front and stock calipers with cross drilled rotors (new) in the back, stainless steel lines. Custom made 72mm studs for the rims.

Suspension - All 4 new Bilstein sport shocks, new turbo tie rods, new rear adjustable sprinplates, weltmeister bar, weltmeister front and rear tow hooks.

Wheel are very special, they are custom made, ultra rare, original 3 piece BBS made to order.
Front is 10.5x16 with 245/45/16 tires and the rear is ( r u ready? ) 14x17 with 315/35/17 tires which are Brand new Yokohama Advan 032R (less than 200 miles on tires). The lips are enormous and are polished and they look absolutely freaking sick !

Car has $500 invisible bra clear plastic protection (of course custom made) on hood, front fenders, front bumper, rear quarters and mirrors. The guy spent 2 days making and applying it.

A/C System - full Griffith A/C conversion (new compressor, Rear Deck Lid Condenser, rearward mounted Kuehl Condenser, Front Condenser, Evaporator, Expansion Valve, The Kuehl Vent etc...)

Everything has been professionally done, this was not a hack job, the crafsmanship is superb on this car. Yes, I dumped an insane amount of money into it but it is also one of the best looking, handling and fun giving cars I've ever owned.


So what do you think this car is worth?

Thanks

Looks very nice! As to the value, I would have no idea but would sure get something down on my insurance policy just in case something happened to it.

Did you notch the nose for the oil cooler?

Thanks ! Insurance appraised it at $50k, that is what it is insured for

I don't understand what you mean, the oil cooler is in the front, it has custom brackets ...

[nostatic]

The front tub....

i hate to say that your going to lose a ***** load of money..

even though it looks like an amazing job... w/o a crazy cusotm turbo engine....i figure it peaks around 40k....and i might be a little high speaking from someone else who ahs sunk way too much into theirs./

[jdm61]

not interested in buying the car, BUT......do you still have the Ruf wheels lying around?

[JeremyD]

I'd take out the stereo and the navigation unit - then try and sell. You'll get pennies on the dollar if you leave that in - especially someone looking for an RSR type car. BTW - will you take a small child as a down payment?

WHAT? Jeremy wanting to buy a drooling coupe? lol

It's a really beautiful car. In terms of value, it's hard to say anything definitive. Here's the good news first: it could go as high as 35 or so with a sufficiently emotional buyer.

But viewed in the coldest light of day, it's an SC with a widebody kit, a non-rebuilt 3.2 and a mostly Weltmeister suspension. The 35 figure could drop down to the 15-18 range pretty easily if you had to sell it in a hurry, and couldn't find a buyer who was looking for that particular car. (With a one-of-a-kind car like that, it's all about finding that one-of-a-kind buyer.)

If I built a car like that, I would never sell it. Are you just curious, or thinking about letting it go?

It's a great example of a car that could go on Ebay and stun us all -- either with a surprisingly high price or a surprisingly low one.

That's my inexpert two cents.

[Elombard]

I think it would be worth more if you had gone with the standard RSR fenders instead of the 934....The high dollar RSR looks have way fancier motors and not all that bling on the interior (dont get me wrong its very cool) but the TV/NAv stuff will turn alot of people off. Some things are not that trick like the Suspension and no center fill fuel cell etc. The tricks that bring the crazy money.

I will guess Ebay will go just north of $30K..If you were to ask $40K I think you would wait a long time.

Really cool car either way...Love that it has AC!!

[m325ix]

Thanks for all the comments !
I am not in a hurry to sell nor have I decided to sell it, just a thought that I am entertaining. Just another case of too many toys, cars/motorcycles etc...
I will probably go the Turbo route with this car, making it even more unique and crazy... don't know yet.
Watch this thread, I may add some short videos tomorrow

I think it looks great - if you do sell, you need to be patient - it costs $$$ to build something like this and you need to find a buyer who wants to do it but save the time and heartache.

[RichMink76]

Throw in a nice 3.6 and you won't ever think of selling it again.

[randywebb]

I agree w/ everything Jack said, from the beautiful part to the cold hard reality $$ part.

I usually figure you can take the cost of the parts you add to the car and cut that by 1/2 to 1/3 to get the value of a car in reality $$. That's one reason I won't sell mine...

If I owned your car, I wouldn't sell it. Why do you want to?

[rattlsnak]

$26-28K on a good day. I agree with the others, lose the TV/Nav

m325ix:

What did you use to replace the rear center reflector? I like the look, it cleans up the rear of the car.

[tsuter]

I'd put my money in "go fast" way before I put my money in "look fast". You're short about 150 HP at least......one loop around the block won't hide that.
